Day 1

Today we built our EcoColumns. The group members brought items from home to create the EcoColumns. We had a tappole at the bottom of our system. I also picked up a leach with tools to place in the bottom of our system. We gathered the humus and placed it in the second level. The third level we had dirt and plants. We placed holes in the bottles for air to flow through the system. At the top of the system we placed water to flow down to all the levels of the system. Our group left a hole to add more compost to the system. When we were doing another activity using dirt we found an insect to use in our system. I noticed other groups that added food to their compost pile. We are going to add food on Wednesday. The food will help the flies survive.
