Garden+Supplies+Wish+List


 * Below is a list of supplies that would be helpful for our garden and compost system:**

1. Dual wheeled wheel barrow. 2. Hand tools-shovels, pitch forks, etc 3. Wire fencing to keep deer and animals away from the garden. [|Deer fencing example.] 4. 1 Gallon sprayer-used for spraying vermicompost "tea" on the garden plants (the tea acts as an insecticide). [|Example of sprayer.] 6. Business partnerships-we are looking to establish relationships with businesses who might be interested in contributing to our compost pile. Restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, etc are all possibilities. 7. 2" X 12" cedar boards. Our raised beds are currently constructed of pine boards, and we expect these to only last 3-5 years. Cedar lasts much, much longer than pine, but it is also much more expensive. 8. 2" X 10" pine boards-these will be used to construct our raised garden beds. 9. Old or new Rubbermaid style plastic containers-large and small sizes needed. 10. Wire cages to trellis and support plants as they grow. 11. Straw bales to mix with our compost. 12. Material to build a hoop style greenhouse like the one pictured [|here]. 13. 5 gallon plastic buckets or plastic kitty litter containers (only pails that have never stored chemicals or other toxic materials). The tops for these are needed as well! 14. //People power is always needed!// If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Kip Jacobs at 414-540-3240.
