BULLETIN - Change in NAGA Compost Management Practices


Dear NAGA Members,
On 20 Sept. 2014 the Board of Directors agreed that effective immediately and onwards:

1.   ALL COMPOSTING IS TO BE DONE ON EACH NAGA GARDENER’S OWN PLOT.
 
2.   DO NOT ADD ANY OF "YOUR COMPOST" TO ANY EXISTING PILE OR BIN CONTAINING COMPOST.
 
3.   ALL EXISTING PILES AND BINS OF COMPOST
ARE OFF LIMITS.


 

SIMPLY, FROM THIS DATE FORWARD:
 
JUST LEAVE ALL OF YOUR "GARDEN'S CHOPPED-UP COMPOST"
ON YOUR GARDEN

UPDATED: NAGA Annual Picnic - Saturday 20 Sept 2014


UPDATED


Dear Naga Gardeners,

The annual picnic will be held on Saturday 20 of September from 2pm to 4pm.  We will gather under the tree and picnic table on the west side of the garden (near perennial plots 204 and 205, or annual plots 49 and 51 ).

Be proud of your produce and bring in some samples or a dish made out of your bounty. NAGA will provide burgers (even Halal) for everyone and some drinks.

Come out and enjoy!

NAGA Chair

Note: the original date was the 13th, but it is forecasted as a lot of rain
