If you're taking a plot, plan to join us for the workday (as able). Bring boots, gloves, drinking water, tools, etc. Rest the night before... we have lots of work to do. Our tasks, in order of importance:
- Mark the plots and till the soil, removing or burying as much of the grass as possible
- Lay fabric on the pathways and cover with pea gravel
- Dig a 6" trench for the fence; dig holes for posts; erect the fence
- Assemble a gate
- Importing some composted manure. Who has an old trailer we can borrow?
- Get rain barrels hooked up.
- Name the garden and make a sign. Post the sign above the gate.
More news from the meeting
Suggested donation: to cover the cost of fencing, rototilling, rain barrels and/or city water, we are asking for a donation of $60 per 10x10 plot or $30 per 4x10 half plot.
Signup sheet: I've posted a signup sheet in the narthex. About half of the plots are spoken for... so hurry! If there's a lot more interest before groundbreaking, we can expand the space.
Rogation Sunday is May 17!
