Cleaning up

One of the schoolyard teachers helped me clean up an experiment that was abandoned a number of years ago by a colleague who left the country before he had a chance to clean it up himself. In the meantime, plants had grown through the abandoned vexar mesh, which had also become partially buried in the sand and mud, so it was surprisingly difficult to pull it out. But we did what we could to help out.
