Feed the plants with plants!

Year 1 have been working hard to grow their own outside their classroom, greening their grey outside space #greeninggreybritain @The_RHS

For the last six weeks a combination of broad beans, carrots, rocket, marigolds and tomatoes have been sown and planted ready for the big harvest and fun cooking.

As an environmentally friendly school we have recycled and sourced locally where we could. The care of our plants is no different. This week we have made our own plant food taking great advice from Pip Bensley and Rosy Yeomans on the BBC Radio Solent Programme 'The Good Life' with Rebecca Parker.

The Comfrey Feed...

First we harvested the leaves

Next came the fun part,extracting the goodness.                                                

We talked about the Romans - they would not have trodden on grapes with shiny shoes on.

Now for the Harry Potter part. We mixed the potion with water.

We poured our solution straight into a watering can and watered the soil around our plants. This will give them a good boost at a time when they are growing lots. Please look at our blog to see the results!
