May 1st General Patch Overview

The patch coming together, the weed block has been installed to help retain soil moisture and reduce the area that needs to be weeded. Even though this material does allow water to pass through, as the plants grow the weed block will be rolled back. This allows for the vines to be buried and reduces the weed pressure. After a period of time when the plant reaches its full size the weed block will ultimately be completely removed from the patch.

In the structure, on the left (North side) there is some yellow scaffolding which is placed in-line with the vent and will be where the industrial fan will be placed to help exhaust the hot air that will build inside the structure.
