  FPA100 LOGBOOK (WEEKS 7) 12 MAY 2023 (WEEKS 7) Activities This week, our class did mulching activities on transplanted plants.This activity was taught by the farm staff, Mr. Naim. Mr. Naim taught and told about the benefits of mulching. Mulching is  generally used to save water, suppress weeds and improve the soil around plants  but it also gives your garden a neat, tidy appearance and can reduce the amount of time spent on tasks such as watering and weeding. BENEFIT OF MULCHING - Limits weed growth by preventing light from reaching the soil surface . - Limits water loss from the soil surface, maintaining soil moisture.   -   Decreases soil temperatures and keeps it cooler on hot days and warmer on cold nights. - Covers and protects the soil by reducing soil compaction and erosion. In addition, we water the trees. This can refresh the plants and the soil. This activity is done in the morning and evening.

 FPA100 LOGBOOK (WEEKS 6) 5 MAY 2023 ACTIVITIES For this week, my class has done several activities such as field drainage and main drainage, replant seedlings, and adjusting our planting bed.This activity is carried out because they want to speed up the process of raising the plant beds and good water channels.This can reduce the water reservoir when it rains. That same week, our class transplanted trees to the plant bed. The process of transplanting trees was taught by the lecturer and farm staff, Mr. Naim.   CHALLENGES   The challenge we face is when raising the plant beds because it takes a lot of energy to prepare them. Furthermore, after we have to hoe the wet soil and rickshaw. This is very annoying for us.
