As winter progresses along, the maintenance staff has begun preparations
for this year’s vegetable garden. Due to
last year’s success with our small scale plots, we have decided to expand the
garden to nearly 10,000 sq ft. This will
provide ample room to implement a season long growing and harvesting schedule.
Work has begun on grading the existing garden as well as the
area around it in order to provide proper water runoff. In addition, drainage will be installed in
case of larger rains and continuously wet conditions. In order to provide proper conditions for
growing, sub-ground irrigation will be installed. Plants will be cultivated in raised beds
which will allow for ideal soil conditions for growth.
The following pictures show the beginnings of the grade work
on the new garden area. Stay tuned for
more pictures.
