No Dig Garden at Calli's House Sunday 29th of March

[callistra]

This is an invite to help out with the next garden bed creation! This is also a great time to come and hang out and chat. Every one is welcome!

Sunday 29th of March 10:00 onwards.

This time around, Chesh and I plan to already have the bed walls in place. We're going to be constructing them with excess tin from the roof.

Please bring a salad if you feel like it, otherwise I am happy to over cater LOL

Last time we all discovered Fe's chickpea and tomato salad, which has made lots of us very happy. I'll see if I can also provide cakes and dinner for any one who would like it. Just let me know how many of you are coming and any dietary requirements. I'll also try and make up some rhubarb champagne and lemonade for us all for refreshments. There will be seedlings for the kids to plant and plenty of stuff to be done.

Requires:
Manure, wheelbarrows, newspaper, friends, seedlings, composty stuff, and a mulch of some sort.
- newspaper - if any one has some, perhaps they can bring it along
- greenery layer - plenty of that around, and I am building the stack higher. Plus there's leaves and junk every where
- manure layers - will get from delivery place (probably)
- compost layer - will have a few cubic metres delivered
- mulch layer - still have some out the front.

This is an open invitation. If you know someone who would like to come, please feel free to invite them. Just let me know so I make enough cupcakes!

Actually, speaking of excess tin. We have a few full sheets and a couple of half/smaller sheets of tin from our demolishing stuff.

You're welcome to it if you want/need it. If not it goes in the bin :)

Aww yeah. Is there a date set for binning?
(I'll have to think about since I don't know quite how much tin *I* have yet!)

Soon, we're in the middle of prepping for selling the place.

I'm interested. Can you remind me closer to the time? I have a couple of bags of soil improver if that's useful?

Sounds like fun

Hi there, I'm in Australia, but you seem to be American, so I'm afraid I can't help.
