- COMPOST
& MULCH - Composted leaf mulch will be provided at the
garden areas as it becomes available and while supplies last.
Residents may also pick up extra leaf mulch free of charge
from the Town Recycling Center on Brixton Street. Farm manure
can be picked up free of charge from Westmoor Park during business
office hours. For weed suppression, gardeners may use their
own biodegradable mulch such as straw, biodegradable mats,
wood chips, etc. Materials that do not decompose, such as carpet,
black plastic, etc. are not permitted. Gardeners must remove
all non-biodegradable material by the end of the season.
- REFUSE
- An area is designated at each garden site for weeds and organic
waste to be stockpiled. Another area is designated for rocks.
Trash cans will not be supplied. Please remove your
own non-organic trash (paper, plant pots, etc.) from the garden
area. Do not litter or throw refuse elsewhere in the garden
area.
- VANDALISM
- Security is NOT provided. Vandalism and theft can be a problem
especially during harvesting season. If you notice unauthorized
people in the gardens or suspicious activity, please help your
gardening neighbors by calling the Police Department at 523-5203.
- WEEDY/UNCARED
FOR PLOTS - These plots are a potential source of weed seeds
and pests and contribute to a ragged appearance. Neglected
plots may be cleared and/or re-rented if the gardener does not
take appropriate action within two weeks of notification by Westmoor
Park. If you plan to be on vacation for an extended period
of time, please ask a neighbor gardener, relative or friend to
care for your plot in your absence. If you wish to discontinue
using your plot, please call the Park Office at 232-1134.
- WATER,
HOSES AND SPRINKLERS - The water faucets are shared with other
gardeners. Please call the Public Works Department if the faucets
are not working properly (561-8100). The Town does not supply
hoses, but many people will share their hoses. Please be considerate
of the plot renters near the water faucets when moving hoses.
NO SPRINKLERS ARE TO BE LEFT UNATTENDED. Others
wishing to use the water may disconnect unattended sprinklers.
