C. Bird /butterfly demonstration garden — Kelly will work with Larry Hoover about replacing
the drip system with sprinklers. If we replace the drip system we can apply the
expanded shale and compost and then till the garden with 2 — 3 tillers. If the drip
system is not replaced we will probably have to hand dig the garden. Stephen will check
with his contact re: super compost. Michael will contact the Outdoor Club and the
Scouts for their available days to assist. Final purchases for the garden must be
completed before August 26, 2013. Stephen will contact the "stone guy" for amounts
and prices relating to the pathway.
