November in the Garden: Small Seedings and Lots of Maintenance 
During the month of November, activity in the garden focused mainly on care and maintenance, as there were only a few seedings—but well-planned ones:
- Green beans: Sown in the last third of garden bed 2, with a density of 6 seeds per square meter.
- Radishes: Sown in the first third of garden bed 3, scattered roughly, following rows or furrows about 1 cm deep and spaced about 15 cm apart.
- Green beans: Sown in the last third of garden bed 2, with a density of 6 seeds per square meter.
With the main seedings already underway, it was the ideal time to focus on cleaning and organizing the space. Among the most important tasks we carried out were:
- Removing weeds from the areas where we had already sown, to prevent them from competing with our plants for resources.
- Cleaning the edges and adjacent areas with a sickle, which helps us work more efficiently and prevents tall grasses from becoming a nuisance, especially with the arrival of rain.
- Removing weeds from the areas where we had already sown, to prevent them from competing with our plants for resources.
We also dedicated time to our compost, a key element for nourishing the soil in a natural and sustainable way. Compost is formed from organic matter that decomposes over time, turning into a nutrient-rich fertilizer for our crops.
In our garden, we have three compost bins, each at a different stage of the decomposition process. In the bin where we begin the process, we first place a base of thick sticks to facilitate drainage and aeration. On top of that, we alternate:
- Green layer (rich in nitrogen): made up of fresh waste like cut grass, cleaning remains, or small prunings.
- Brown layer (rich in carbon): made up of cardboard, paper, dry leaves, or food scraps.
