Classroom Aquaponics-

• Classroom aquaponics system

with fish on the bottom and plants

• n top.
• Mr. Duron Chavis of Virginia State

University consults with us via WebEx. Composting-

• We will build a system similar to the one

below on school grounds.

• Scraps from the lunchroom will be added,

along with “red wiggler” worms and cardboard/newspaper to create soil that is rich in nutrients for our Park Street Garden.
