The End of NAGA Composting Bins and Composting Areas

Yesterday, 4 Oct., a backhoe was hired to move 'compost mountain' from it's old and tired spot to over near the storage area, where it will be rested to compost. This new pile is OFF LIMITS. This policy is described in another, recent, blog posting. That posting has also been mostly translated from English into 4 other common languages. Gardeners caught putting compost (or garbage) on this pile may lose plots (where they have more than one) or have their membership revoked if they have only one plot.

 

 



 

 
The smaller compost bins have been removed. No gardener is to place any compost or garbage in these places or any other place in the NAGA garden. Your cooperation is fully required, expected, and will be appreciated.

Dear NAGA Members,

On 20 Sept. 2014 the Board of Directors agreed that effective immediately and onwards:

1.   ALL COMPOSTING IS TO BE DONE ON EACH NAGA GARDENER’S OWN PLOT.   2.   DO NOT ADD ANY OF "YOUR COMPOST" TO ANY EXISTING PILE OR BIN CONTAINING COMPOST.   3.   ALL EXISTING PILES AND BINS OF COMPOST ARE OFF LIMITS.

 

SIMPLY, FROM THIS DATE FORWARD:   JUST LEAVE ALL OF YOUR "GARDEN'S CHOPPED-UP COMPOST" ON YOUR GARDEN

UPDATED: NAGA Annual Picnic - Saturday 20 Sept 2014

UPDATED

Dear Naga Gardeners,

The annual picnic will be held on Saturday 20 of September from 2pm to 4pm.  We will gather under the tree and picnic table on the west side of the garden (near perennial plots 204 and 205, or annual plots 49 and 51 ).

Be proud of your produce and bring in some samples or a dish made out of your bounty. NAGA will provide burgers (even Halal) for everyone and some drinks.

Come out and enjoy!
