The troop assembled a composting system for the school to use in conjunction with their gardening, viticulture, farming and general campus clean-up activities.
Arriving at the site, the project didn't look very promising. The area was a junk heap piled with pallets, scrap wood, and overrun with weeds. The troop dug right in and cleaned the site down to the bare earth. Then assembly began in earnest. Over the course of the day the compost bins came together and by the time we left, the first bay had been filled with green waste and manure to begin the process to convert it to rich compost.
In between steps of the process, the troop also cleaned the trash out of the lower parking lot. Good job Troop 134 and great job Stirling coordinating this event! We look forward to your Eagle Court of Honor!
