Maintaining a Plot
Some Basic Guidelines for Gardeners
- We are primarily an organic garden, practicing integrated pest management. Gardeners are expected to avoid hazardous herbicides and pesticides.
- Plots must be clean and planted by May 15th.
- Weeding of the plot and adjacent paths and fences is the responsibility of the plot owner.
- Gardeners must be able to foresee spending a minimum of two to three hours every week for the duration of the growing season working in and around their plots.
- Plots must be prepared for the winter by the second week in December, meaning dead plant material and stakes, etc. are removed and, ideally, a cover crop is planted.
- No trees on plots.
- If a gardener wants someone to work the plot or pick vegetables when the gardener is away or sick, please inform the executive committee.
- Gardeners are not authorized to give away their plots.
