In April 2022, East Hollywood Community Garden used 22,000 gallons of water. This is about twice the amount of water the 3,000 sq. ft. of growing space (communal and household plots) needed during this time of year to grow vegetables.
We need all gardeners with a plot and volunteers to help us conserve water. Please use the table below to time how long you water your 48 sq. ft. plot. The times listed are the maximum minutes you should water. If the soil is mulched, it will retain more water and you can water even less.
Only water after checking with your finger that soil 3 inches down is dry. Reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas.To make the pesto vegan, simply substitute nutritional yeast and more nuts for the cheese.
Delicious on everything from pasta, eggs, sandwiches, and even blended into salad dressing. Enjoy!
