<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Co-Horts,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I visited Nickelsville on Wednesday and found that
they want to start a garden!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The woman I spoke with, Crystal, is leading the
effort, currently she is collecting cardboard boxes and cutting them up with
scissors and laying them on the ground as mulch. She's covered maybe 20% of a
9x13' plot this way.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would like to find someone with a truck who would
be willing to take some cardboard down to them to complete the mulching. They
have no source of running water so plan to use the waste water from the hand
washing station to wet down the cardboard.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can haul water to them but my car is too small to
carry much cardboard.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>They have someone who is willing to donate plant
starts which is wonderful but the soil at their location is very
poor.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Do you think some of the Urban Crop Circle folks
would be interested in making a field trip to Nickelsville to see how we can
help them with their garden? Any ideas would be much appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
