Tools

The tool shed located in the garden has an assortment of tools (shovels, pick axes, hoes etc.) to be shared by all gardeners. The wheel barrows and wagons located right beside the shed are also meant to be shared by all gardeners. Please note:

• All tools and wheel barrows have to to be brought back to the tool shed after use before you leave the garden. Tools cannot be taken out of the garden or left in garden plots even if you plan to be right back or in a few hours
• If you would like to see new tools stocked in the garden please write to us at [email protected] with details of the tools

Mulch

We get free wood chips from a local tree company and these are piled in the parking space outside the garden or in the orchard. All gardeners can use this mulch in their plots, paths and for mulching common spaces. When mulching the main path, orchard or the community places please lay down a layer of plain cardboard (without paint or plastic wrap and remove any staples or tape) and then a thick (at least 6 inches) layer of mulch on top of the cardboard. We usually get cardboard from the recycling bins in the village

Stakes

We spend a lot of time digging in 4 wooden stakes at the corners of each plot with the plot number on them before assigning them to new gardeners. Please be mindful of the stakes when working in your plot. If you happen to knock down a stake, please hammer it back into the ground in its spot. If a stake breaks, please replace it with one of the spare stakes available in the toolshed. There are cans of spray paint and stencils in the toolshed to mark the plot numbers on the stakes. Please email us [email protected] if there are no spare stakes in the garden
