Workday this Saturday, February 14th

[LEWIS B & TAMARA JONES]

DHS/Sugar Creek Gardeners:

We will have a work day this Saturday, February 14th from 9:00-12:00 at Sugar Creek.  We will be putting together the beds and preparing them for soil.  We need battery operated screw drivers (please let us know if you have one that we can use).  I will go by the shed to see if we have screws.  If we don't, I will go buy some.

See you Saturday.  It will be a great way to start Valentine's Day.

Also, we have a site meeting with In Bloom's owner on Wednesday at noon at DHS to evaluate the cost of moving dirt and garden infrastructure. If anyone can attend, great. So far Tamara and I can go. If you have questions or an idea we should bring up at that meeting, please post. Thanks,

Jan

Let's figure out whether it might be more cost effective to just buy better dirt.

Maybe the city will help us out by lending us a backhoe to load some of the dirt into the truck.

Or, maybe we just pay for it. It now sounds like a ton of work.

In other words...if it costs $500 to move some dirt, how much would it cost to go buy a lot of soil from Lowe's. Tony at Ace might cut us a good deal, too. Farmer D's dirt is good, but pricy, and I think he gives us a discount.

I think in any case it's worth checking with In Bloom just to see how much it would be. It just seems like such a shame to throw away decent soil. But I will say I've been in a couple gardens lately where I've seen the soil Cummins sells for raised beds and it's pretty sweet. Not sure what their prices are like.
