Samantha, I missed that episode because I don't have a television, but I'm guessing it was re-crete... Broken up bits of sidewalk and driveway with the broken edge facing out. Easy to stack, nice texture, free, half the weight of natural stone, flat on two sides so it's easy to level and mosses/molds over nicely.
Or it could have been frozen burlap, I have no idea, never been to san francisco. Just taking a wild leap! Doesn't anyone from san francisco read this list anymore? Good luck with it, whatever you use. fgc Fred Conrad Community Garden Coordinator Atlanta Community Food Bank 732 Joseph E Lowery Blvd, NW, Atlanta, GA 30318 ph: 678.553.5932 fx: 678.553.5933 [email protected] <http://www.acfb.org> Our mission is to fight hunger by engaging, educating and empowering our community. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Samantha Provencio Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2009 11:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Community_garden] san fran victory garden borders I was watching the Victory Garden on PBS and they highlighted the San Francisco victory garden on City Hall. They mentioned the borders (raised beds) that looked like burlap but it wasn't it was some kind of recycled product found locally. Does anyone know what it is and how it would be superior to burlap? and has anyone done a bed like that, how does it stand up over time? what are the limitations...I'm in Cleveland so we get frozen ground and heaving that San Fran might not get...thanks! samantha -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
