I have been working with My Farm, digging in the dirt and discussing ways to bring this into the classroom.
I think they are rad and one of the guys i worked with today (at the farm in the pic below in the ny times) gave me a collard cutting. we both have one carefully put into a fuchsia plastic pot with volcanic ash to root itself, no soil and this is the experiment aspect. I like them and what they are doing, especially the social justice aspect.Here is a little more info.
