Recommendations/Expectations:
- Coordinate with team to set up a spring cleanup effort in February or March, (before April 1st for plant sale).
- Cut back all winter-killed perennial tops, clean up weeds, etc
- There will be scheduled 4H Demo Garden and Terrace Garden clean-up dates each year in February to help everyone with their beds, but it’s more work that can be done in one day. The scheduled clean-up day is to help support and assist.
- Coordinate with team so that someone checks the bed/garden once per month from March through October.
- If any maintenance is needed, communicate with team to plan and complete the work.
- If supplies need to be purchased (like mulch, drip irrigation, plants), either let Allison know and she will purchase, or confirm with her about remaining budget first and then purchase; turn in receipt for reimbursement.
- Routine watering is already covered. If new plants are planted, the team needs to arrange for extra watering until the plants are established.
- There is an online form sent out each year to sign-up for a month of watering the 4H demo beds from March through October. This involves coming once per week (except during weeks with adequate rainfall) to turn on the valves at each bed, leaving them on for an appropriate amount of time (depends on heat, drought, etc) and then going back to turn off.
