This is the twenty-second day of my research assistant role of the Youth Gardening Project. Today's location was at the Tuskegee University Greenhouse. Today we worked on removing the weeds out of the fields where we planted varies crops such as okra, tomatoes, watermelons, etc. Mr. Raymond, a farm worker, explained to Ashton, Morgan, and I how to properly operate a tiller. A tiller is used during the cultivation process of loosening and digging the soil around growing plants. The tiller was very useful in removing more weeds from the roots of the soil than the hand power we were using.
