I know this is what the Dervaes family at Path to Freedom uses, too. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jennifer Michele Karberg Sent: Monday, May 04, 2009 12:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Community_garden] Watering plots in your community garden Hey all, I'm new to this listserv and new to community gardening. I'm working with a group of people to start a new community garden this season - we've figured out everything from soil amendments to fencing but now we're wrestling with the idea of how watering will occur in the garden throughout the season. I though I'd check here to see what most places do. We are a fairly small garden - only 9 plots but with one water source into the garden. I'm wondering if there are any people on the list working with smaller gardens - are individual plot holders responsible for their own garden, how do you regulate who gets to water when, has anyone hooked up multiple plots with soaker hoses together to water all at once? Just looking for suggestions - maybe someone has some unique method we haven't thought about! Thanks for all your help - I'm really enjoying this listserv - so much useful information!
