Day 83: Spreading (shit)

This morning, we had a meeting discussing the final few days of our stay here. Each group had a status check, and gave an estimate on when they would be finished. Although some groups would be finished with their work prior to our departure date, we decided to stay until Saturday (as we had previously planned.) Also discussed was the upcoming holiday, Thanksgiving. We discussed some of the logistics of getting food to prepare, how to prepare it, etc.

The meeting lasted until 11, and we, the agriculture group didn’t go out to the garden until 4. We spent the entire afternoon shoveling manure in to buckets and spreading it over our field. This was the second time that we had done this, and the purpose was basically just to add more nutrients to the (nutrient-poor) soil. It was hard, but it felt good to do some physical activity. Once our massive pile of manure/soil was gone, we walked back home. Not much else today…
