Next time you’re at CERES, check out the kitchen boxes renovated by the students from Jackson School as part of their Vocational Education Training last term. Just outside the Merri Cafe, they provide the freshest possible lettuce, radish and chives. See our before and after photos here.
Step 1 – Empty the box
Step 2: Line with plastic (yes, we made drainage holes)
Step 3: Add a layer of mulch – to help with drainage
Step 4: Fill with soil and CERES’ wonderful compost
Step 5: Planting
Step 6: Water them in
Step 7: Protect from wandering chickens and watch them grow
