COMMUNITY GARDEN UPDATE

Anyone need fill dirt for your septic system?  The Community Garden had a huge delivery from the tomato greenhouses in Ft Davis. It is mostly coconut coir which is perfect to mix in when installing native plants because it helps with moisture retention. The coir is in and outside of plastic bags, and needs some sorting through because of trash. Take ALL you can use! And please tell a friend!
