We recently had a rain storm that had a great deal of flooding. "After we saw a video of the very hard rain close to the garden, we needed to put these rocks there to keep the soil from eroding. It worked!!", stated Cole. The fifth graders went to work to stop the erosion that was occurring in the garden. We placed pine needles around the garden and along the rows to help keep the topsoil in place. We also added rocks on the side of the garden to guide the water away from the row that we being eroded. Elise explained, "I thought that this was really neat and a good thing to do for the garden."
