Goroke P-12College Newsletter PO Box 132 GOROKE VIC 3412 Phone: 03 53 861024 Fax: 03 53 861283 30th May 2013 Volume 16 I chose to clean up the pond area near the garden because it was full of slime and weeds. I took the challenge to put it back to its former glory. Doing the garden had two sides to it. One was to plan what I was going to do and write down what I needed to get for it. The first thing I did was remove all of the slime and rocks, then clean the rocks. The second thing I did was to get all of the weeds and dead plants out. I raked the ground and got all of the rocks, logs, pump and the pond out. Next I cleaned the pond, put it back in, fixed the tarp, planted 6 new plants and put bark chips down to give it a better look. I trimmed back all of the plants and watered them all down. At the moment I am putting in the watering system and the pump and then it will be finished. The best part of being able to finish the garden will be looking at it when I’m done and knowing how much work I put in to it. Gage
