[Below is a note I received from WSU Extension's Jill Cotton. How cool is this! We will figure out a way to find out who wants to sign up for what...soon.]
The WSU master gardener volunteers are available this spring to help home gardeners grow vegetables in their community garden plots. We are working on developing presentations on these subjects:
From the Ground Up team:
* Soils, fertilization, and soil preparation styles
* Compost and Lasagna garden style
* Planning and siting the garden, and useful tools
* Useful structures; raised beds, trellises and supports
* Seeds, selecting and growing starts
Grow Your Own Groceries team:
* Planting: transplanting, furrows, Square-Foot, Bio intensive
* Growing, cultivation and care, weed and insect control
* Harvest and seed saving
If you would like to schedule any or all of these volunteers to help out at your community garden, please contact me with a date and time, and please forward this email to anyone else you know of who could use our help ! I'll look forward to hearing from you!

Now that I look at this again, it looks like stuff we could use help with right away. ("From the Ground Up" team.) If they are offering, let's get someone out here soon to give us some advice! I'm sure we could tailor the session to meet our needs, if members want to say what they are most needing help with/questions answered.
