This past Sunday's workday was both productive and strenuous. Please be assured that most workdays will not be this time consuming or physically challenging. Approximately 40 people from 26 households showed up giving 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours of their time. There was a continuous wheel barrow brigade that worked non-stop resulting in sore arms and backs and the near disappearance of our towering composte pile. A small mound remains if any members still wish to purchase and haul composte for their private use. The cost is $5 for approximately 35 gallons - a yard bag full.
We accomplished three major tasks with only minor mechanical difficulties involving the tillers and chainsaw:
The original 10 beds were prepared for planting.
The new garden area received a second layer of mulch.
The tree line along the garden was cleared of undergrowth and dead branches.
