Practical (and not so glamorous) training!

Our new Certificate 3 Horticulture students started their course this week, and were hard at work on day four.

This week we have started clearing out our 'Winter' Tomato crop in preparation for re planting. The cleaning out operation is a little earlier than usual but this is to allow us to make some exciting new changes within the compartment - more on this as it develops!

All of the students were enthusiastic participants in this particularly dirty job, but they will get to do the 'fun' side of planting and establishing the new crop. 

The next stage is to wash the compartment from top to bottom as we enter the sterilization phase of the operation.

Happy band of workers....
