Gardening This Week
Gardeners: tomorrow, Friday 19/08, we'll work on the vertical garden in Pine St and do more on the new bed at the corner of Shepherd and Daniels.
Saturday 20/08; we'll garden from 11:30 to 1pm - some gardeners will join us from Willoughby. Geoff may join us to fix the new vertical garden and make it stable - either way he'll do this soon so we can finish the job in the next week.
Wheelbarrow woe: about three weeks ago our orange wheelbarrow went missing on the last day of work on the raised bed gardens in Shepherd Street - does anyone have it or know where it is, please? We need it each week.
Wheelbarrow woo hoo: another of our wheelbarrows had a flat tyre and Paul has paid for a new tyre and fixed it; hat tip to Paul, thanks. He reckons it was used when too flat so the air nipple was broken and he had to replace the whole tyre tube. I've got a car pump for pumping them up so don't hesitate to use it if you notice a flat wheelbarrow tyre.
Info: There's info about the gardening we do on the Sustainable Chippendale web page - http://www.sustainablechippendale.com/road-gardens/
Drone youtube of garden: Check out the very cute youtube link there taken from a 'drone' of the community garden in Manly Vale - someone flew a little 'drone' over the garden with a camera on it; snazzy stuff. If anyone here reckons they can do the same for our road verge gardens please contact me and we'll get a youtube up of ours, too!
