Jack's+fun+day+at+the+MLK+day+of+service+event

During the MLK service day around Cary, we were divided into two main groups: pitchforks and rakes. I obviously was a pitchfork because who would want to be a rake. As a pitchfork, my job was to distribute compost from one of several large piles around the farm into wheelbarrows, which would then be spread by those who had chosen to rake across the field. We learned the value of topsoil to plants, and the importance of compost in the entire plant growing process, that is to say nothing of the demanding physical work required to maintain such a system.
