<p class=MsoNormal>I vote that we get stuff for a new fence.<br>
<br>
I am willing to contribute $200 for supplies (including a fence,<br>
compost, rototiller rental, etc.) I hope this will reduce the amount<br>
of energy people spend agonizing over whether to buy stuff.<br>
<br>
Here are a couple of other things to talk about (not that I should be<br>
opening my big yapper if I am not able to make the meeting):<br>
<br>
- When to hold the planting party (if we are having one). If we<br>
advertise (via facebook/mailing list/posters) then this might be a<br>
good way to get fresh meat for the garden (or, if you are<br>
vegetarian, fresh tofu).<br>
<br>
- Choosing some victims to do administrative-y stuff. I propose that<br>
selecting two such victims to organize each project (e.g. two people<br>
to follow the fence, two people to organize compost runs) might work<br>
better than any number fewer or greater than two.<br>
<br>
- Deciding when gardening days/times are going to be, and picking<br>
(two?) Wal-martesque greeters to open the garden punctually with their<br>
presence. These greeters can help ensure that fresh meats do not<br>
show up, find nobody there and leave again.<br>
<br>
- Finding foster parents for the seedlings we grow. Unfortunately, I<br>
do not have enough light to offer this service. I hope not everybody<br>
lives in dank basement apartments. Maybe I can be a foster parent<br>
for mushrooms.<br>
<br>
Them's my thoughts.<br>
