Independent Task List

Please log your independent hours on the Independent Tasks List form. Be specific about what you did so we can plan for the community clean-up. You may log up to four hours total (including community clean-up) per month.

​

Completed between May & June Clean-Ups

• Cut back Virginia Creeper along north fence to make removal easier at clean-up. DO NOT step in plot near bees/pollinator garden.

• Help Lisa Rubens with mulching.

• Spread salt hay in the new garden bed (along the west fence) and under the pawpaws to protect the fruit when it falls.

• Spread wood chips in the Orchard--but not on top of the mulch around the raspberries and blackberries. (The paths between the trellises can be chipped.)

• Mount Seed Library sign (in shed) and remove Little Library sign on the seed library.
