Garden Closes November 2nd
Rules of the garden.
Absolutely no trash in the super sacks! Compost cannot be processed with trash - if there is trash in here, it is not picked out - all of the great organic matter and nutrients are thrown out instead
Clearing out your bed :
-Cut off plant stems at soil level and leave the roots in the ground. OR pull out plants, but SHAKE OFF ALL SOIL INTO BED. Excess soil in the super sack slows the decomposition process when making compost and leaves your bed with less soil for next year.
-Leave perennials: chives, horseradish,strawberries, mint, thyme, oregano, tarragon, raspberries, and sage in the ground. They will grow back next year.
-Bring rosemary indoors - it will not survive a Chicago winter.
-Lay trellises flat on bed.
-Absolutely no extra pots, fertilizer, bags or containers may be left in walkways.
