Unit 2: Infrastructure

"He that is faithful in that which is least..." — Luke 16:10

"Lord, thank You for the tools that serve my hands and the systems that serve the land. May I be a diligent guardian of the mundane."

Lesson 2.1: The Tool Audit

Spade / Shovel				[ ]
Hoe (Stirrup/Draw)				[ ]

Creation-CRP: The Repair Bench

The Broken Infrastructure: A wooden handle has a "Splintering" crack. It's dangerous to the hand.

The Fix: Sand the handle smooth. If the crack is deep, wrap it tightly with duct tape or replace the handle entirely. What is the spiritual danger of a "hidden splinter" in our work? _________________________

Lesson 2.2: Water & Waste Architecture

3. Irrigation Design: Sketch a simple irrigation diagram for a 3-bed layout. Show the "Flow Path" and how you will prevent leaks at the joints.

4. Thermal Core Management: Use a compost thermometer to check the "Heart" of the pile.

Pile A Temperature: _________ °F | Is it "Active" (120-160°F)? [ ] Yes [ ] No

If it's cold, what "Fuel" (Nitrogen/Green matter) does it need? __________________________

Signet Challenge: The Infrastructure Fix

Task: Find one thing in the garden system that is broken, leaking, or dull. Implement a permanent fix that will last for the entire season.
