Smart gardeners and vegetable gardeners have been dumpster diving all summer long to snatch up any available cardboard they can find. Cardboard is an excellent mulch and helps keep moisture in the ground. It is also a wonderful facilitator of earth worm habitat. Because of these positive factors, and others, we haven't been able to get all the cardboard we need for our Community Garden.
We need your cardboard. If you recycle cardboard (and of course you do!) please consider throwing it over the fence at the Community Garden instead of taking it to the recycling center. Don't worry about taking boxes apart, and neatness or lack of it won't count against you. We,ll break the boxes down and stack them neatly.
Over the last four years our focus has been on learning how to garden. Next year, year five, our focus will be on production. But we need lots more mulch--and cardboard really helps.
Thank you for everything you do! And praise God, from Whom all blessing flow!
