Likely no need to spray for preservation, but, I think it's a good idea to spray it for mites and other bugs. What bird built that crappy looking nest? LOL

Our county runs a garden program. On county property, they plow and disc up some prime farm ground. They then divide the fields up into sections, marked with flags. You can sign up for sections, I have had three for the last seven years. No cost, free for everyone.Surprisingly, in a county of over 100,000 residents, I don’t think there’s more than 20 folks signing up….and maybe a dozen of us that actually take care of their gardens. I have yellow and green beans, sweet corn, zucchinis, and lots of pumpkin plants.

Used to be a big thing in the 60's for us. Even before that my Grandpa on Dad's side would share crop in town. Grandma was a canning addict and Grandpa would about bury her in beans and peas. He had several gardens going around town.

Prefer to do my own garden and give away the excess. That way other people cant screw things up. Same here, we have a large enough garden for my family, our chickens, and a bunch of other people. I will give the produce away to people but I won't let them come pick it themselves because a lot of people don't respect others things.

Not a community garden as described here but for 3 years I worked up and planted about 3/4 of an acre garden in a small community near my home. I planted the garden to a whole host of veggies. Our men's Bible study met early and then the 4-5 of us weeded or harvested depending upon the season. The whole idea was to put the produce in the entrance to faith based thrift store and ask for donations. We estimated we gathered about 6,000 lbs. of produce and we did not receive enough donations to cover the seed costs let alone add to the food pantry. The 2nd year three of the guys lost interest in working the garden, so it got away from me as I had my own to care for. People would not even come out to help pick. People would actually set in their cars and wait until I brought the stuff in and then take it. Many came in really nice autos and would not pay a dollar for a dozen ears of corn. The last year I planted the whole thing to sweet corn with several matiurities and stages of planting. Some kid found it fun to run down the corn with their 4- wheeler and that is when I quit planting. Neighbor farmer seeded it to grass for them and now they have another nearlly acre to mow.
Bryce And that there is the difference between collective effort and collectivism.

The ones who moved in did so for lower property taxes. They could plant gardens for the value that it would provide them, but for them the only value is money. I have come to the point that I count value in calories and BTUs.

Had a lady down the street from where we have our garden ask about setting it up for a community garden but when I asked if she was willing to help work the ground and plant she lost interest. Ours is fairly small but the wife has canned 180 quarts of beans, 20 quarts of corn and lots of fresh snow peas,peppers, and lettuce and definitely helps fill the pantry.
