Fall Clean Up



The saddest time of year is upon us, time to clean out the garden plots and ready them for winter if you haven't done so already.

It's important to clean up your plot(s) no matter your
intentions for renting that plot again...
prepare the garden bed this fall the way you'd want it done for you
for a tidy winter and spring



WEED!
Please weed the bed, especially the sides...this makes the spring growth spurt for the weeds slow down.  2012 spring saw 4 gardeners weeding empty beds for 3 hours...let's not repeat that.
**You can leave peas and beans in your bed--just chop and mix them into the soil**



Please make sure to chop up everything you put into the compost, making sure to dispose of all grass and weeds in the garbage.
