Soil, Compost, and Mulch. Oh, my!

We received three very important deliveries yesterday. Merry and her sister Robyn traveled to Queens early yesterday morning to pick up our soil donation from Green Thumb at their garden compound. We stuck around the garden in the early afternoon to receive a HEFTY batch of mulch, courtesy of a local landscaping company, and then drove to the Fresh Kills Compost Site to pick up a truckload of rich, organic compost. A mixture of these three materials will fill each of our raised beds to create a thriving environment for our plants. Once the beds are filled, we'll begin to transport and transplant our seedlings from New Jersey, and begin to seed even more veggies and herbs directly into the soil.

Our two remaining workdays this week, tonight at 4:30 and Friday at 4:30, will require much help. Please stop by if you are free! We promise a fun, messy time.
