Gardening!


















I did a post last June about the possibility of doing a small garden area on the Seven-11 side of the building. The original post is here. It is now the time of year, with spring fast approaching, when it is time to revisit the subject. We have located these affordable, and movable bins at UrBin Grower that may be the perfect starting package for the "eager urban gardener". The website is here.











The kit comes with (2) 20x20x12 inch self-watering containers as well as 2 soil separators, 2 watering trays, 2 gallons of pumice, a set of seed trays, 4 gallons of dry coir with trace minerals, 1 bag of coir chips, and 1 brick of coir mulch. In short everything you would need to start with a small urban garden in which you could grow herbs, flowers, or vegetables such as tomatoes.
If you are interested, please contact me, the author of this blog, or Markwood Management.
