The purpose of this blog is to allow community members interested in the Del Norte Community Garden to follow garden activities. We can use the comment feature to discuss plans, and organize activities and work sessions.
I will try to post an update of the garden's status at least once a week. I believe I can add other garden volunteers as "Authors" on this web log, but I don't know how to do that yet, so for now, if you wish to add anything to what I have written, please use the "comment" feature. I've set this up to send me an e-mail if anyone leaves a comment.
For now, I am the "Administrator" of this Blog. I can add other people as "Authors" and you can request to become a "Member". Anyone can leave a comment, but members will not have to go through the verification process each time they want to add a post or a comment.
As I gain familiarity with this tool, we can add photos and keep a schedule here so everyone knows what is happening.
Recent activity:
On Friday March 21 a small group of volunteers turned out to begin work on our garden. We marked out the boundaries of the garden, cleared some trash from the area and lightly roto-tilled.
We were pleased to find that the earth was loose and reasonably free of rocks. We are planning on having a soil test completed and have been offered a good supply of goat manure which we will add to the soil.
We had planned to haul in the manure today, but the snow we had yesterday put those plans on hold. We have tentatively planned to do this on Friday April 3, or Saturday April 4.
Cheers,
Christopher Dahle
