* Watering
* Weeding (if you aren’t sure what is a weed and what is a native perennial, you can use an I-phone or mobile app to identify plants. Its very helpful)
* picking up stick and removing trash
* soil amendment work: it appears that the soil in the garden along the driveway is primarily clay which has gotten quite hard. Rust Belt Riders suggested that we break it up as much as possible, mix the tilth soil with it, and then add a layer of tilth soil on top of that. So if you are willing and able to break up the soil, crush the chunks of clay, and mix it in with the tilth soil, that would be so helpful. If you happen to have them, please bring pitchfork-type tools and shovels. (ask Dell if you have questions) the piles of tilth soil are located in the parking lot at both ends of the garden. This job will be done when the tilth soil in the garden is gone.
