This day we discussed various topics from fundraising, grant deadlines, linking up with more community associations, ordering seeds, Baltimore's Flower Mart Day this past Saturday , location of plants in the garden (thanks Shari' for your lovely drawing :-))/design of the garden. We have contacts of resources that will give us free mulch and wood chips, which is fantastic. We now know it will cost somewhere around $275-$350 for organic soil. Yes we will be composting. It will take time to use the rich Black Gold, as Shari' very appropriately calls it, from composting.
We met at the plot before sitting down to talk to move our raised beds that were delivered so the tillers would have free reign, as they were scheduled to come Friday. The raised beds are HUGE (3x12), so we are thinking to stack them in twos, which would mean even better soil in the long run. Most of the raised beds will be used for the veggie garden, and we are thinking to possibly do a different type of raised bed for the herb garden.
Here are pics of the raised beds.
