Lots of great progress was made on the cinder block raised beds on Saturday 5 April 2014 by Adam, Val, Kathy, Teresa, Leah and Stephanie. Adam added a few more oak leaf bags into the south beds and moved a HUGE portion of pro-mix pile into the south beds (and added some nitrogen), Teresa started moving the remaining cinder blocks in the parking lot and placing cinder blocks in the central north bed, Leah and Kathy added oak leaves to each cinder block hole in the largest north bed. Val moved all of the compost that was in the north garden walkway into the south beds as well as added some oak leaves to the largest north bed. Leah and I weeded all of the onion beds and started cleaning up/removing the cardboard and storing the plot covers in the shed.
Carl will be at the garden from Wed-Sat of this week from 7:30a-9:30a. He'll be bringing lots of plants to put in the ground/in the finished beds. I will be at the garden Thurs-Sat from 9:30- noonish working on the raised beds, finishing up the cinder block walls, moving the rest of the pro-mix and moving part of the Plant 4 Habitat bedding material (see photo below) into the new raised beds--to help us fill our beds and to help them make room for more potted plants. Please come if you can!!
On Thursday at 10 am, we will also be hosting a visit from a high school geography class that has been studying about food scarcity/world hunger!
