October 23 - Dirty Jobs

This week, KWTS got down and dirty – in the garden, that is!  We haven’t been taking good care of our compost, so Wednesday was the day to fix it.  That meant raking out a lot of the food scraps, rotting plants, and other decomposing things so we could put them back in the correct ratios.


We also recently heard that catfish guts buried in a garden make a wonderful fertilizer for tomatoes.  Luckily, Ms. Susan found someone willing to give us some catfish, so we decided to try it!  This is probably one of the grossest jobs that KWTS has ever tackled.  You’ll have to look at our garden next summer to see if it was worth it!


















Because it was pretty cold outside, we also had a variety of indoor tasks so that no one was outside for more than an hour.  We cleaned up the sanctuary, cleaned and sanitized the nursery, broke down some boxes, and even organized the KWTS supply closet! 



















Check back next week to see the kids do some more messy tasks!  (spoiler alert: there’s paint involved)
