Q&A

What supplies did you receive from the 24 convenience store for the gardening project?

We received seedlings, including peppers, mints, tomatoes, and flowers, as well as planting buckets, biochar fertilizer, vermicompost, bat guano, a spade, topsoil, potting soil, and woodchip mulch.

What are the benefits of using mulch in your gardening?

The benefits of mulch are that it keeps the soil moist by retaining water, prevents the sun from directly drying out the soil, makes plants look pretty, and suppresses weeds.

How should the biochar be used in the soil?

The biochar should be activated using vermicompost or any other compost before adding it to the soil, as this creates a healthy environment for the plants to grow.

What is the purpose of the vermicompost and how should it be used?

Vermicompost is an organic plant fertilizer and pesticide derived from the decomposition of organic materials by earthworms and other organisms, and it is excellent for starting seeds, cuttings, and bulbs. It should be mixed into the soil to help create a healthy environment for plant growth.

When is the best time to water plants and why?

The best time to water plants is in the morning when the sun is not out, allowing the water to slowly evaporate and leave enough moisture in the soil for overnight without causing root rot or other complications.

How do you plant seedlings in containers properly?

To plant seedlings, dig a hole with your hand, add a handful of compost into the hole, place the plant on top of the compost, and then fill with soil up to the top line of the plant, leaving enough room for mulch. It's important to not stress the roots and ensure proper drainage.

What type of mint varieties did you plant, and where can they be found?

We planted coco mint and apple mint, which were provided by the 24 convenience store.
