First thing that I noticed at the garden is that something had gotten to everyone's cucumber plants. The leaves on all of the plants were completely dying, starting with the oldest leaves.
Then I noticed that my watermelon was leaking water for some reason
After determining that it was either due to an insect getting inside or from absorbing too much water (there has been a lot of rain), we decided to open it. Unfortunately the photos of it being opened are on someone else's phone but it had a ton of pressure inside and did seem to have just absorbed too much water. Very strange!
Key takeaways from the Composting presentation:
Build a compost pile = Layer equal amounts of greens and browns in 3-4 inch layers, water the layers as you go, stop layering at 3-5 feet in height.
Managing your pile = Check temperature, moisture, and smell
Do not compost = Dairy and meat, pet waste, pesticides, oils, pressure-treated wood, seeds
