NMIT got their tanks on Tuesday, they were hoisted in by crane and set in place ready for any rain which freshen our gardens and soften our soil!
The tanks are 23,000 litres in capacity and will allow students to grow vegies and other sustainable plants and water them independant of any water restriction which may be enforce. Rain permitting!! The tanks will be connected to a newly constructed shed which will be used for classroom activities, which will have racking and new equipment to enhance the horticulture program.
Below the shed, a series of garden rooms are being built for practical demonstrations, whith a screening fence around them which will be built by students. One of the classes will be planting some produce plants in the area and it is ever rains in Melbourne again there'll be fresh produce for students and staff.
All this has been made possible by a Government grant to catch water and minimise runoff.
