I have contacted several community citizens who have access to earth moving equipment, asking if they would move the 49 yards of river silt on the garden plot site. That should be done within the next week.
Have arranged the use of a dump truck to get some free compost for the garden, and haul it there once the silt is spread. Then will get more purchased compost from local source. Also some manure from local dairy. With all this on the site, then we'll get a tractor-tiller go over the whole scene and mix up all this good stuff.
For the fun of it, I thought I'd draw up a draft proposal for how the whole 3/4 acre area with the garden might look. See below. [Click on the picture for larger sized viewing]
Of course this will be discussed and other ideas at the upcoming organizing group that will be meeting Saturday, March 21st.
This is fun!
