We have informed the university grounds crew that the garden is ready to be plowed. They will now inform us on a date (most likely Monday 4/20 if the weekend weather cooperates). They will plow based on the condition of the soil (too wet, and they wait). When we have a firm date from them, we will be letting you all know so that, if anyone has plants to remove, you will have enough time to do so. After they plowing, PLANTING can begin!
I know everyone is anxious, so hope for dry weather this weekend!

Please have your plot cleared out of fencing, tomato cages, wire, stakes, large rooting plants, etc by tomorrow APRIL 3RD. The grounds crew will then come to plow the garden prior to planting once the garden is completely cleared.
We appreciate your help!

what's what?
hi everybody!
i was around the garden the other day, and being new to all of this, have some questions about what's what. there is a pile that looks like leaf mulch, on the ground, and a bin with what appears to be only dry leaves inside - is that right? do people use the leaves that are in the big pile as mulch and put raked leaves into the bin to get "mulchy"? also, there is another (i think freestanding) bin with what appears to be "cooked" compost, ready for use - is that right? just want to be sure i've got all the materials correctly identified! thanks.

Composting Issues
Gardeners & residents:
Each year we are faced with issues and ongoing problems with our composting systems. Unfortunately, we just don't have the (wo)man power to keep the composter going between Tao and myself, so WE NEED YOUR HELP! Please, please follow the composting instructions and permitted scraps as this will help us with the process.
We will be closing one chamber at a time to allow for proper control of the materials in the composter. You will see new signs, etc to help with this process. We appreciate the efforts as this will help us control the composting in Butler.
Thank you
