Making soil from sun, rain and good fashioned cow-lick!
Why do we gather cow manure from our local place? Why can’t be buy it from the shop? These were some questions for discussion when Class 6 collected cow pats from Fiona’s farm in the Megalong. What isn’t to love about bringing sun drenched, rain soaked, well munched mountain grasses to make soil back at School?! 

We are making our annual B.D. compost on Tuesday with leaves gathered from local parks, sprinkled with the cheerfulness of our leaf collectors, the cow pats, comfrey tea, weeds from our School garden and the special B.D. preparations which bring wisdom from the herbs and invitation to the critters of Mother Earth. This will then be in the food we grow, the trees that shelter us, the herbs that freshen us in our School gardens.
