I picked up 220’ x 4 ‘ garden cloth/cover with 80 staples I think 39.99 at Costco
Also scored 100’ of “contractor” grade hose (also Costco) 20.99
Both pretty good deals I felt based on last years price comparison for us.

@devin is that this product? https://www.costco.com/dalen-pro-shield-landscaping-fabric-2-pack.product.100537854.html
No I couldn’t find it on their website.
I saw this and thought they might work as fence panels for the Garden Used Pallet Rack Decking - Price per piece is $10
I will make it but I will need to be let in. I work in a restaurant in the evening during the week and all day on Saturday. I can’t make it to the reorientation.
@Membership how can we help @amberNICT get reoriented to the new building that would work with her schedule?
I have another obligation starting at 11AM Sunday, April 11th and probably won’t finish until 2or 3 PM.
So, someone else will need to take meeting notes.
It doesn’t matter much how they are taken down, but I have been both using the Google document started by Malissa as the starting point and then posting to the wiki once I have time.
Multiple people can simultaneously edit the Google document, which sometimes helps if someone is trying to participate in the discussion while also taking notes.
As far as I know only @Malissa can grant editing permission to the Google document.
If someone’s preference is to take notes by another method they can Email them to me, mikeb@makeict.org and I will post them.

Also, since I’m at Bartlett’s Arboretum, can someone take pictures and send them to me so I can post to social media?

About 180 linear feet of potatoes. Happened before I arrived, so I don’t know the spacing between.

Rare opportunity for some hardwood. Wet hardwood is perfect for mushroom totems. I may get me a log.

I’m far too busy to go get any. If you (or anyone else) would be interested in trying to raise some of that Lion’s Mane in the MakeICT garden, I bet we can find you a spot!

I struggled with being over run with pigweed for years in my garden. I’ve used plastic and cloth weed barrier with limited success. The part I disliked the most was the following year. Both were huge pains in the back side when it came time to prep and plant again. This past gardening season I mulch VERY heavily with straw. WOW!!! Very few weeds. Clean to walk through. Kept the produce clean and dry. It made my garden very manageable. This is a strategy an old organic farmer shared with me. He even planted his potatoes in the straw. Anywho, hope this might give you food for thought.
