The Auburn community garden.

All produce goes to the local food bank.

This is my first blog by phone!

What is the background? Is there a bunch of volunteers? Who pays for the inputs? How is it managed/distributed?

Hey! Welcome back Mike!

Now this idea I really love. The way things are going here I think there may be a future in it!

The garden is run on a combination of grant money and volunteers. I coordinate the day-to-day activities, such as irrigation, fertilization, soil testing, pest monitoring, and organizing volunteers. We usually meet once a week. The volunteers will weed, plant, or harvest, while i am usually fixing the irrigation or fertilizing.

This year we've got corn, cukes, melons, watermelons, courgettes, squash, tomatoes, peppers (both hot and sweet), okra and eggplant.
