We have enjoyed gardening with you all this season! As we approach fall, it's time to prepare for garden clean-up.
All community gardens, unless otherwise noted, close for the season on October 15th.
Here are some garden clean up instructions for you (depending on your plot type):
🌱All Plots: Non-plant material (stake, all string, cages, ect.) must be removed and carried out. Please DO NOT use on-site garbage or dumpsters.
🌱Plowed Plots: Please remove ALL large stalky material (corn, sunflower, broccoli, kale and other brassica stems). All other plant material can be chopped up into smaller pieces and left in your plot to increase organic matter and help improve soil.
🌱Raised beds: Please remove everything, including plants, by November 1st, so that only soil remains. Shake off as much dirt from the
plants as possible to keep soil in the beds. Put plants on the grass by the curb, NOT the compost area or road. We will be in touch once the City has notified us which dates we can start to place plant material on the curb. Olde North Gardeners, please use space by the "No Parking" sign on Smith Street. 5th Street gardeners, please put plants next to the tree.
🌱No-till plots: Please remove everything, including plants, by November 1st so that only the soil remains. Please cut the plants at ground level (roots can be left in the soil). Put plants on the grass by the curb, NOT the compost area or road. We will be in touch once the City has notified us which dates we can start to place plant material on the curb.
