18. Phase 5: Planting
• After fertilizing, plowing, raking, breaking up
sod and leveling, more organic material was
spread on the land in order to proceed with
the plantings and transplants of various crops.
• In addition, holes were dug for the shade and
fruit trees that will continue to form segments
of planting.
28. Final Finishing of Ponds
• Beause of rain, the ponds began to accumulate water
before they were completely finished.
• To finish them, a human chain was formed in which all
cooperated to extract water.
• Then the rain damage to the wall was repaired and a
protective plastic was installed to protect the lining.
• Next the impermeable liner was installed.
• The pond was then filled to mold the plastic.
• Finally, a channel was constructed to secure the liner.
38. Plants in the shaded area
• After marking and preparing beds, various
vegetables were planted including:
– Cilantro
– Radishes
– Cabbage
– Lettuce
– Spinach
