*Turned the compost, it still stinks pretty bad, MUST GET WORMS. It has decreased to about half the size it was when I first re-did it on July 31st *Made a garden plan by going outside and measuring the garden plot. I searched for a schematic of the Cross-Lines campus but found nothing, word around the block is that Pastor Gary may be able to provide promising results. Anyways, the garden plan is based upon plants with small maturity dates and what the community will find desirable thrown together using companion planting principals. *I called around to 4 or 5 nurseries about trying get some perennial plants donated, we are 501c3 Non-Profit so businesses can give us stuff as write offs instead of throwing things away. I want to try and spice this place up with an herb garden or just some sexy looking good smelling things around for people to be happy about. There is alot of unused space around this place, lots of potential for more beauty. *Went to First Friday down in the Power and Light District to hand out vouchers for free produce. This place blew my mind. I ceased handing out vouchers and just fell into the creative vibe emmanating from everyone around me. I don't know if it was the scene or the full moon that night but I felt intoxicated as we were all leaving.
