We are organizing a new community garden at our church. We are looking at 60-100, 10'X15' garden beds. The area is currently grass. We have all the irrigation water we need and much more. My impression of the "dirt" is clay, rock & glacial till.
I need input from all of you whether we should go with raised beds or in ground beds.
We can get heavy equipment to dig out beds and loosen everything up. Water pipes from the irrigation ditch are already in place.
Any input from those who have been involved with community gardens is immensely appreciated!
Let the debate begin & please tell people in other forums! :))
If one of the mediators can help us to spread the word around, I would really appreciate it. This garden is for the whole community and will include schools & educational events as well as helping the hungry & the homeless.
Thanks!
