Roots
By: Dana Schultheis

It all begins with the seed, but the roots carry the seed's production to surface. A few days ago, we began our garden by planting store-bought green-bean seeds and recycled pumpkin seeds. Now, hopefully, the roots weave through out the soil and natural fertilizer carrying the plants closer and closer to the surface each day. 

We buried green-bean seeds in Terracycle's "Natural, Extremely Effective" Organic Based Garden Granular Plant Food composed of worm poop, pictured below.

After a day or so, we combined the mixture with regular, organic garden soil in the greenhouse.

This is our greenhouse before we began renovating it and cleaning it up. Now, the fish tank in the center holds natural pond water and stones, ready for fish! The low flat tables on the right hold our planted seeds in small, plastic gardening containers. Once we obtain fish, we will combine the garden with the fish tank to form an aquaponics gardening system. More pictures to come! (:
