Summer 2007
Welcome to a posting about general garden stuff happening in
Free Compost:
The Berkeley Gardens Collaborative will deliver high quality compost to any coop. The contact information is:
510.883.9096
They don’t deliver in the winter so be sure to store up some in late fall.
Funding for
How can you get money for your garden from the USCA? The best way is to get it through HAPS or HLBAPS. Talk to Wes at Central Maintenance about the necessary forms. They both need to be approved by your house, so put it on the agenda early in the semester. I estimate that $600/semester and $400/summer is appropriate.
Big Projects:
The best way to get a large project done in your garden in by using HI (house improvement) hours. Most coops have a 4 hr/semester requirement. This is a good way to tackle a large task (irrigation, tool shed, etc.) and teach others about gardening.
