So you have planned your garden, planted the seeds, and got ready to reap the harvest.
Then, the bugs came. The rains fell, or didn't. The soil varied depending on the location of your garden.
How would an unchecked population explosion affect your species diversity?
Rank each of your plants as needing a lot, a moderate, or a little water. To do this, think of the final product. Really juicy fruits or veggies need much more water than fibrous or grassy counterparts.
Would you prefer an organic or non-organic means to control your bug or weed population? Explain why.
Based on the size of the garden you planted (remember, you had a 60 x 80 foot area available), what strategies would use for weed control?
How much food do you anticipate raising? Estimate the number of people it would feed.
Would preserving the food using canning or freezing or drying be an attractive choice for you and your family? Why or why not?
===========
In this unit, we talked about water, agriculture, and the atmosphere. How do the concept maps shown in the original handout affect your garden? For each of these categories, you must provide at least five specific connections to your garden.
===========
For each of the subcategories, there were misconceptions listed. A misconception is a common idea that is WRONG, but widely accepted. Examine the misconceptions in your handout. At least one misconception from each category can be connected to your garden. Explain how.
