Seeking a gardener/s interested in doing some trade with me in early March while I heal from neck injury. My garden beds (a couple small ones) need to be cleaned, turned over and have compost added to them. Located close to Tool Library.

Aaron Silverberg sent a message saying there was a plant swap on Sat, the link in it pointed here but I don't see anything about it.  I want to forward and Tweet and give PR to it, but use the correct link for the actual blurb... anyone?

Has anyone tried one of those new Jaw Saws?  It would be a tool for cutting the branches to size.

I have a large branch pile that could be used also.

Aylee, maybe, maybe not.  Those don't look like cedar twigs but one could use rot resistant species, or even line it with bamboo barrier, or just dress up plain boards, etc.   In the pic, there's a lot of layers so it would last a bit longer anyway as the outer layers have air space and would stay dry and not rot until the inner layers did.  I just think its a pretty idea and I have a colossal branch pile from all the prunings the goats have been eating lately.

The changes at Picardo are amazing if you haven't walked thru in awhile.  I've been helping out some, its a great project and I encourage everyone to consider ways small and more, that they can be involved in this.  Especially spread the word to those new folks who wanted gardening mentors, Picardo is a great place for new gardeners to learn by doing and osmosis.  With the location of our new SustNE Tool Library, there's a lot of potential new win/wins for both groups.

Greetings Urban Farmers! Picardo Farm P-Patch has recently undergone a transformation of our south field, converting from seasonal gardens to year round. Along with this change we have included a series of raised beds that will be dedicated to food bank gardens on the far southern edge of the garden. We are looking for community partners to join us in farming these beds, with all produce going to donation. We will have a growing plan for you to follow to meet the needs of those we are donating to, so as such you will get an assignment for the bed. I am hoping that some of you will want to join together as representatives of Sustainable NE Seattle and grow in concert at Picardo. We will provide signage for each bed so folks know who is donating their time and energy to this program. Not only is this a good way to do some much needed good, it is also a way to promote Sustainable NE! Please contact me if you are interested at lmatter@comcast.net.

Sorry, I lost track of where it was from.  I wonder if it's cedar?

It looks nice but might not last very long.  Those twigs will start decomposing after a short while!
