New Farm Progress!
Lots going on in the journey for the new farm! Thanks again to everyone who came out for the party at bobo. The energy came out in full force, which made for an excellent night.
Never a dull moment, this morning Shamus stopped by with about 15 empty bushels from his pickling – so our crate collection has begun! Let’s hope City Winery gets their big shipment of grapes again this Spring – those famous white bins are so rad.
Get ready, Summer!
And the soil hunt continues. We know what worked at Eagle St. It’s a good light compost, however it’s not cheap and has to be shipped a couple of states. I met Paul Mankiewicz last night, the very intelligent and knowledgeable inventor of the light-weight rooftop Gaia Soil. I can’t wait to get my hands on it, blend with some Hudson Valley compost, and start some testing with Brandon. I still can’t help but wonder – can we create our own compost blend?
Next stop: Crane! Would anyone want to take a guess at how many pizzas = a free crane to lift a million pounds of soil onto a roof? Just kidding, sort of.
Coming soon… plant selection updates. What does everyone want to see us grow? What do you want to eat?
And… we have some cool t-shirt plans in the works! Save your old shirts (old, stained, holed – no worry!). We’ll have a plan for them very soon.
Talk to y’all soon.
Ben
