Saturday, April 1st will be our annual Season Opening and Roto Tilling Day!
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: We will be offering roto tilling for gardeners again this year BUT have changed how we are organizing things. Our volunteer roto-tilling crew had quite a difficult time last year because plots were not prepared to be tilled. To mitigate that, we have a few guidelines we need folks to follow if they want their plot tilled.
You MUST be present when your garden is being tilled or we will need to skip it and move on.
This is AN ENTIRELY volunteer effort, so we really appreciate your cooperation in attending to the following details.
Preparation requirements when requesting volunteer rototilling:
Tasks include but may not be limited to:
1. Remove all prior growth to soil level.
2. Take down all poles, stakes, etc. and group at the edge of the plot.
3. Remove all string, wires, stones, plastic, wood, glass, hoses, etc.
4. Resposition all tools, ornamentals, fencing, etc., away from soil area to be rototilled, where appropriate.
5. The soil areas to be rototilled, must be cleared of all obstructions, above and below the soil.
6. The plots must be prepared as previously stated, otherwise rototilling will not take place.
7. All plot owners requesting volunteer rototilling assistance must sign up in advance to determine equipment needs and be present on the designated work day.
