Seed Starter Kits for Community Garden Distributed; More Caretakers Are Still Needed
Mar. 19--The first batch of Seed Starter Kits were
distributed
to planters and caretakers yesterday. The caretakers are
responsible for planting and bringing seedlings to life. The
young plants will be dedicated in worship on May 20 and planted in
the earth of our community lasagna garden.
The harvest from this lasagna garden will provide fresh vegetables for the the 18th Street Mission in Wheeling. "Lasagna Gardening is a nontraditional organic gardening method that relies on a layering method called "sheet composting." The name "Lasagna," comes from the way garden beds are created from layers, the same way you layer ingredients when making a pan of lasagna. Watering and weeding are reduced through the heavy layers of mulch and by planting crops close together." (Source: www.thriftyfun.com)
All materials are supplied. If you have a window sill that could help, please let Maggie or Wendy Barbeau (277-4509) know.

Community Garden Beginnings

or a yen for this sort of thing, please let telephone Wendy Barbeau at 304-277-4509 or e-mail her at
