UK update

When it rains it pours dirt and mulch. 7yds dirt, 2yds mulch coming soon to the garden courtesy of UK. I think that some trees also came down today, though I haven't been by. We will have a bunch of work to do moving piles around and prepping and planting the beds in front. Yael has made a great plan for the Brock St beds that our group is responsible for maintaining.

The sign is just dandy, but the design can't be distributed on our listserv due to it's size. True, it features a large UK sunshine/energy logo, but it looks pretty good, explains the garden and is built to last. Coming soon, hopefully, to the Macdonnell side. (email me and I'll send you the .pdf)

I went by the garden this AM. Thanks to whoever has moved all that dirt around - awesome! If the extra dirt comes today as expected, there will still be lots to do Saturday morning, so please come if you can. I'll post something tonight if the dirt DOESN'T come.

Otherwise, bring a shovel and some newspaper, and we'll make two lasagne beds on Brock Street (paper to suppress weeds, then 4"dirt, then mulch). We will then relocate the extra dirt (there's a lot) somewhere discreet for our future garden plots.

Finally, does someone want to make a sign for the Martha's table bed, and one for the Communal bed. We should explain to passersby the function of both beds, and invite people to pick from the communal bed.
