heyall!
updates...
we as a group approved signing over the "facilities" of the garden to yarrow
in exchange for our debt of nearly $1000. good deal! and SS lease is in
the works. we should have a new lease for April 1 that indicates a much
lower membership price.
Nina and co. has gotten lots of free seeds from URI.
there was much debate regarding the importance of seeds being organic (URI
seeds are not) but deciding its probly ok to use them though we would like
to learn more about bringing seeds back from non-orgaqnic, can they repair
through generations? as long as they are not montisanto(sp?). Anyone know
more about this?
We want to focus on biodiversity and permaculture planting. (this has many
names but is integrated planting that serves the dirt and interdependanc of
plants)
