Liming The Plantation Site


                           In this week, Madam Samihah has assigned us to liming the planting plot and sowing the seeds of vegetable plant. Other than that, our lecturer also asks us to make the new bridge to make our work easier. Like normal, we have arrived at the planting site at 8 am. We just borrow the planting tools that suitable for the task like Wheelbarrows, machetes, chainsaws, lime sack, peat soil packs, sowing trays, and saw. Firstly, we filled the wheelbarrow with lime powder and manually sprinkle over our entire planting area. This can make our planting site acidity level low and suitable for the plant growth. We have filled the seeding tray with peat soil that’s has been provided. After that, we sow our chosen seeds like Pak Choi, green and red spinach, and khailan in seeding tray. After finishing sowing work, we place all the trays in the greenhouse for germination process Madam then advised us to build a bridge that be constructed to cross a minor drain at the planting site. We have used a chainsaw, machete, and saw to cut wood in a little forest near the planting site. Then we use the wood to construct a bridge to allow a wheelbarrow to pass through, making the job of delivering items easier. After constructing the bridge, we evaluate its strength to ensure that it does not collapse during of usage. When we were finished, we returned the tools we had borrowed from the farm store in an orderly manner.
