At the Seed Saver workshop we had met two people from St. Helens community garden in Glebe who invited us to come to one of their next working bees and have a look around.
So on Sunday the following week Carrie, Markus and I went to Glebe and had a chat to their coordinators and a few of their members about their experiences in running the garden and compost, managing crops and dealing with issues like vandalism and theft.
Their garden is fairly big and spacious and next to the Glebe library and comprises of a more public and a more hidden part as well as a big shed, about 10 worm farms and 12 compost bins of which two are open to the public.
They also have a number of small and bigger wicking beds and they discussed the various pros and cons of those.
