I’ve ordered some organic compost and fertilizer to be delivered to the garden Thursday evening: two (28.5 L) bags of compost per plot plus 3 bags of Spanish River carbonatite to be divided among the plots.

We are paying $5.50 per bag of compost, plus $20 per bag of carbonatite, plus tax. Unfortunately there’s no money in our bank account to cover the total costs at this time so while we will look for sources of funding, I’m asking that garden members make a donation if possible to cover the costs.

I will also need some help unloading the delivery and moving it into the shed (if we can fit it all) or at least into the fenced-off area. It should be between 8:30 and 9:00 pm—please get in touch if you’re available and I can call you when I have an exact time, or just drop by the garden to help out.

Once everything’s there, feel free to take your two bags and dig the compost into your plot, but please make sure to take only two bags! I’ll calculate how much of the carbonatite should go in each plot as well.

It’s going to be a beautiful weekend, perfect time to start working in the garden!
