Today’s work party we had Sean, Carmen, Anja and Art all get stuck in across the garden and accomplished the following:
1. Amigas bed (V10) has been cleanup and reshaping ready for a new season.
2. There was mucho watering by Anja which the newly planted seeds will be very thankful for. We focused on new seedings in the Veggie bed 14 and Accessible bed 2. Seeding into very heavy compost layer in the latter will likely inhibit germination and seedling survival. The Net Zero compost is nutrient rich, but it has high salt and ammonia that necessitate working it into the soil and not seeding directly into it.
3. The Brock Elementary seeded pea bed (V5) resulted in numerous bare spots due to the very cold spring weather post seeding. Those spots were reseeded today and will be watered this evening.
4. Following the COVID-19 recommendations from other community gardens, the roofs of the compost bins have been opened so that gardeners won’t have to touch them in managing compostables.
Good team work!
