Compost and Composter

Hi Everyone, Thanks to the help of fellow gardener Eric who helped me empty the composter today, we have new compost ready to be used. The compost is in the big black bin next to the shed. However, please do not add anymore scraps to the composter at this point because we are out of dry material and awaiting delivery of more. We will let you know once you can start using the composter again. Thanks, Waiyee

For those going on vacations during the summer and need their gardens watered, I've made a Google Calendar. With this, we can see who needs help watering when, and maybe have neighbors step in and offer to help.

In addition to marking when you'll be gone, please also include (approximately) which Plot number you are. Since the garden is divided into 4 parts (from left to right), it would be helpful to have people who have gardens nearby to help water.

New Toy, Unworked Plots

Hello Gardeners,

I wanted to let all of you know that we have purchased a battery operated weed trimmer to use to clear the paths in the garden and possibly clear any plots that are not being worked. Since it is battery operated, I will be keeping this at my house so that there is a place to charge the batteries and store the charger. The weed trimmer can be picked up from me at my house (220B Halsey Street) when needed. Just send an e-mail or stop by to pick it up and return it after you are done, and I will make sure that it is always charged up and ready to go.

I know that some of you are interested in gardening neighboring plots that are not being used. If you have a request for a specific plot, please e-mail myself or Wai Yee so that we can confirm whether or not the plot will be used by its current owner.

Also, please be mindful of your watering times in this extremely hot weather. It is best to water in the morning or evening so that we do not waste water.

Happy Gardening,
Khirika
