Building Materials, Part 2

Hey everyone.  Here’s what we’ve got so far:

• A palate of bricks that’s been up here at St. Tim for a long time.
• Lots of broken concrete, courtesy of James Johnson
• Possibly also some wood from James
• More bricks, courtesy of Pastor Steve

Be on the lookout for people rebuilding their fences and throwing away the old fence.  We shouldn’t use treated lumber for vegetables, but for ornamental plants, that will be fine.  I like the idea of building a garden out of what would be considered junk, stuff that would otherwise wind up in a landfill somewhere, when it could be helping to produce life.

Other stuff we’ll need for the workday this weekend.

• Dirt
• Humus
• Wheelbarrows (I can bring one)
• Tillers (I have one, and Brad has one)
• Shovels
• Sledgehammers
• Wooden or metal stakes

Down the road, as we continue to build, we’ll need:

• Crushed gravel
• Mulch
• Maybe a fence – hopefully people won’t vandalize the garden
• Other ornamental things we’d like to add.
• Hoses
