A group of neighbors are getting together to start a community garden out here in the country. One household is contributing the land and we now have 5 households involved in the planning stage.
We have set up the first compost pile and will start hauling in bagged leaves this week. There's a local dairy about 3 miles from the garden spot and I think we can get the dairyman to haul cow poop to it. We're hoping to get a plot ready for a winter garden 2009.
Our biggest problem to overcome may be to get a water meter set for the garden area. Our local community water company charges a lot of $ to set a meter. I am hoping to negotiate a break from them on that fee.
If we can solve the water problem soon I will start putting out flyers inviting more community participation.
Does anyone here have suggestions for us? Anything to watch out for?
