Outside beds and hellstrips

Thanks to all the shareholders who enthusiastically worked on the outside beds and the E 18th Street and Avenue H hell-strips (strips of dirt between the sidewalk and the street). 

 

We fertilized all the beds with a special Fall fertilizer, removed the dried leaves from the hell-strips and fertilized them. A generous watering helped the fertilizer seep into the dirt.

Now our outside beds are ready for the Winter!  
See you in the Spring to put grass seeds and ground cover down to improve them more. We are tired of our outside beds and hell-strips being used as garbage containers!

Compost bin is open

Our tumbler is ready to be fed new kitchen scraps!
Please follow guidelines. Do not add the so called "compostable bags". Thank you all!

Compost tumbling help needed

Hi to all black gold lovers!
We need somebody to pitch in once a week to tumble the compost. It takes only 5 minutes at most and some muscles. Anybody willing to do that?

Compost update

Thank you to all residents that are actively participating in composting kitchen scraps to help our garden.

Please make sure you do not add anything to the compost bin when you see a  “CLOSED” note on it. It disrupts the maturing process and we'll never be able to have a finished batch.

Please contact this blog for more information.

Thanks for your cooperation.
