RENEWING GARDENERS
Renewing gardeners will be sent registration instructions in January will and have until February 12, 2010 to renew their plots.
NEW GARDENERS
New gardeners are allowed to register on-line for a garden plot beginning February 22, 2010. Please follow on-line registration instructions: https://growinggardens.box.net/shared/static/k80b36nxry
SEASONAL WATER FEE: In addition to the plot fee, all gardeners are responsible for paying the seasonal water fee at time of registration.
MANDATORY DRIP IRRIGATION: All gardeners must purchase a drip irrigation system for their garden plot by June 15, 2010. Drip irrigation is watering at a slow rate (or drip) right at the roots of plants. Root irrigation is a good water conservation choice because it provides a deeper level of watering than surface watering, which is prone to wastage due to evaporation and runoff. Drip irrigation can be purchased locally.
