Welcome to the Urban Soil Garden Group! Below are some guidelines to keep in mind when using the listserv. Happy composting, mulching, digging and growing!

Listserv Guidelines:

The purpose of the listserv is to share information that will help us learn about, experiment with, and create thriving gardens at the LA Eco-Village.
We encourage sharing of ideas, updates, announcements, questions and even debates specifically related to the listserv's purpose.
Aggression, commercial advertising and unrelated postings are strongly discouraged and may lead to removal from listserv.

Process to Join:

People eligible to join the listserv include: LA Eco-Village members and residents, close neighbors, people in the membership process, and others who regularly contribute to the gardens at LA Eco-Village.
Anyone can send out an announcement that someone is interested in being added to the garden listserv, including a brief description of the person.
If there are no concerns expressed within 3 days, then they will be added.
