AFC Free Food Garden | April 15–19, 2014

4/11/2014

 
Picture
Save the date: Saturday, April 19, 10 am to 3 pm for a “BARN RAISING”. Our goals will be: building a garden path and sheet mulching the vegetable garden.  We want to take tape off cardboard, put down a cardboard weed barrier in the path,  put down mulch on top of the cardboard,  mark the path with more flags to outline the shape of a snake. We want to put broken concrete inside the outline of the snake and put bricks outside the outline of the snake. Then we will put down cardboard weed barrier on the vegetable garden and cover that with all of the rest of the mulch.

Progress:
The new apricot tree has sprouted leaves!
We picked up more urbanite from Gabe’s house.
There is now room for the 7 and 8 inch thick pieces of urbanite that will form the head of the snake path.
dirt from the path has been used to build up the vegetable garden space, especially where water from the roof had eroded it.
Bermuda grass was removed.
19 inch tall logs are on the patio for us to sit on.
conversations were had.
You can be a part of this. Join us for fun, camaraderie, exercise and learning (gardening and non-gardening activities available!)
