Making Sub Irrigating Planters Inspired by Glides Rooftop Edible Garden

Monday, July 25


Today we made Sip containers.
I planted Parsley, Basil, and Rosemary in mine.
First, we went to Lowe's and got all of our supplies for the container.
We got pipes, buckets, soil, and small buckets.
Then we went to Flower craft.
We had $4 to decide on what we wanted to plant.
When we went back to PHS we took the bucket and drilled a small hole on the bottom and a big hole in the middle of the base.
We took the smaller bucket and drilled a lot of tiny holes in the sides and we did the same with the bottom of the big bucket.
We stuck a pipe and the small bucket into the base of the larger bucket.
Then, we filled the bucket with soil and planted our edible plants.
We watered our plants through the pipe.
Overall, it was my favorite day yet.

Steep Ravine trail

Steep Ravine is a beautiful haven for many wonderous animals and plants such as oaks, moss covered bay trees, and dougluas fers. Also there are newts, water spiders, and a variety of birds.
As well as sights there were also sounds. When we stopped by a bridge we mapped the sounds around us.
