Space Allocation

Maybe about a 1/4 of the yard?

Planning

We're going to meet on the 12th at the space warming party to see what mix of skills & commitment we've got.

Sarah's proposal for a Hydroponics Veggie Garden

Got

a picnic table
a promise of ultra-cheap compost from the Leytonstone community garden
likewise, plenty of spent grains from Brewing for compost
Hackney council offer free deliveries of compost in bulk - 15 tonnes of it in a truck: http://www.hackney.gov.uk/greenerliving-how-compost.htm

Plants inside the space

On the window sill in the craft area near the laser cutter we've got:

Some cacti
Some sunflower seeds which are germinating atm
2 x spider plants
3 pots planted with fairly random seeds that Jasper had left over, some of: nasturtiums, large blue poppys, sweet pea's of a few kinds, mixed wildflowers. Most said "Plant by 2012" so I don't know how many will germinate, will probably need splitting up and planting out if they do germinate

Needed

Generally

BBQ
pots
planters
raised beds
soil
compost
plants
etc…

If we're doing hydro/aqua

grow lights
pumps
tanks etc.
tarpaulin (for a pallet base vertical garden like here)
plastic bottles for hanging garden (either this or this)
