Home Grown Top Soil


EJSHS Green Team has been weighing, mixing, dumping, rowing, and turning tons of cafeteria waste since September. Yes tons! We average almost 75lbs of food waste per day at the High School. The Green Team takes the waste and mixes it with sawdust, paper, manure, grass and/or leaves. After mixing, the team will dump a windrow so that the microorganisms can break down all of our food waste and make a nutrient rich top soil. Our first row has been bagged up and is already in use for plants in our outdoor learning area.
If you would like more information about the projects the Green Team is doing, or to come visit the outdoor learning area, please email us at ejshsgreenteam@yahoo.com!
