Start Of Spring 2007

In the beginning of May, we had our Spring Start Up. It was a time to get together after the cold winter, and plan our gardens. We rented a rotor-tiller, and several gardeners used it to freshen up their plots. We also bought some manure to go along with the compost that Parks and Rec. delivered to us. And we received the new compost bin.

Around the time of the May 24th weekend, we had our first Fundraiser. Michelle and Wes organized a seedling sale, it was a bit of a nail-biter, with last minute details, but it was very successful. We made over $100 that morning. How we used the money. We decided that having some Certified Organic Fertilizer was important. So we contacted John Slack from Erin Ontario

And Bought some certified organic fertilizer in mineral form called Spanish River Carbonatite. It looks like sand, but it contains a wide variety of minerals including trace minerals that are important to soil health.
