Organic Compost Source

Community Gardeners,

Thanks  to Sharon Bright’s recommendation, we now have a source of organic compost sold in bulk:

Cierech Greenhouses
23 Winters Rd, Phillipsburg, NJ 08865
(908) 859-1899

The cost is $30 per yard (and a dump truck holds about 8 yards). The only downside is that they do not deliver, so we need to find someone with a truck.
Contact Mike Jordan if you’re interested!

Groundhog adventures

We caught a groundhog on Saturday in one of the Havahart traps.  Andy Smith, Mike Jordan, and I then took him in a ride in Mike’s van and let him go across a field.  The poor thing was terrified!! But hopefully he’ll be fine now and won’t be munching on our veggies.

The trap is NOT set right now, but if you see signs of groundhogs, let me know and we’ll set it again.

Left: The little guy in the trap.  He looked so sad!

On the Right: Andy Smith and Mike Jordan getting him ready for the ride over to the field (and Andy’s videotaping him too, of course! 🙂 )
