On September 9th, all day, we will be turning this:
Into something like this:
At this stage the wish list looks like this:
-
Outdoor furniture (picnic table, chairs…)
-
Lots of cardboard to sheet mulch with (there cannot be too much).
-
Lots of wood mulch (an arborist will be dropping mulch for us if he can, but the more the merrier).
-
Flowering or edible shrubs (cherry guavas per example).
-
Small evergreen trees (3 citrus would be great. A few natives all right too).
-
Ground cover plants.
-
Climbing plants (hardenbergia or passion fruit vines per example).
-
Forks and other tools to fight the runner grasses.
-
Edging materials of some kind a good bonus.
- Compost, manures, worm casting and other goodness.
- 1 banana tree.
-
A compost bin to keen under the bananas?
If you are free, join our working bee – its going to be a great day of good honest out door work with friendly neighbourly stuff like a bbq lunch!
Just so we can anticipate numbers please rsvp to reclaimthecurb@gmail.com
