Hi, Folks! Can't help on the fire hydrants as we haven't done that type of thing. As long as you are running pipe, have you looked into doing rainwater collection from the health clinic? No permits, it inspires other folks to do the same and it makes the city much happier about giving you water if you aren't getting it *all* from them.
On the fertilizers, why are you buying fertilizer in an urban environment? Composting should give you everything you need. Look into teaching worm bins if you want high-nitrogen for seedlings or to side-dress squash, etc. Dorene Pasekoff, Coordinator St. John's United Church of Christ Organic Community Garden and Labyrinth A mission of St. John's United Church of Christ, 315 Gay Street, Phoenixville, PA 19460 _______________________________________________ The American Community Gardening Association listserve is only one of ACGA's services to community gardeners.
