- Community Gardens are a great way to explore farming and sustainable gardening techniques to grow organic food. In this video, I go beyond common practices and show you how I put together a highly productive community garden plot using techniques like hugelmound and sheet mulching. You do not have to wait to have a farm to learn how to grow food and experiment with ecological systems.
Hi, I'm a new subscriber. I look forward to following your updates. I am hoping to have a community garden bed for 2024.
My bed is smaller but the facility has lots of grounds and other fruits and poly tunnel and greenhouse.
Wishing you a happy 2024. From the UK.

Welcome aboard!!! Happy to help you in any way. I started farming in community farms and gardens and it is still a lot of fun to share that experience with other gardeners. I got a farm now and I still grow in my old community garden just because I love the people there.
@@GardensofNewEngland that's amazing you have you're own farm now! I'll look out for further videos.
Looks great 👍
Thank you!

You are so welcome!!
The garden bed we have been given in the community garden has lots of rocks. We have access to woodchips, compost, including alpaca and horse manure. Any tips?
Two options, spend some time taking a lot of the rocks out. It might be worth in the long run if it is a small area where you can make a difference. Option 2, build up with manure, cardboard and leaves. I would probably do a bit of both. I hope that helps!
any advise on how to get permission to set up a community garden?
Yes, talk to local authorities at the town and city level. They are usually managed by non-profits and land trusts. One piece of advice, always test the soil for heavy metals.
@@GardensofNewEngland do you need a specialist for that?
@@MsMaxMonroe Usually universities with Agriculture departments have that service. I am not sure where you are, but in VT and RI the local universities usually do the testing. You mail them soil samples and a 25 dollar check and you get results in a few weeks.
