The volunteers are now ready to begin the building process and are
seeking donations. Because of the amount
of gravel and fill that was spread on the area, raised beds are an absolute
necessity. City water is not to be used
for irrigation purposes, so a shallow non-potable well must be dug. A partial list of items needed include
- Services
of a licensed well driller (a shallow well pump and pressure tank have been
donated)
- Lumber
for construction of the beds
- Garden soil
for within the beds and much for between the beds
- Irrigation
lines for drip line irrigation
- Hand
tools (new or used)
- Seeds,
seedlings, small fruiting shrubs
