=== Call for Gardeners ===

Has closed, details [[http://libarynth.org/resilients/non-green-gardening | here]]. 

=== Information from 2011 ===


In 2012 there [[http://www.timesup.org/NonGreenGardening | Natalia Borissova]] was a (non-green) gardener in residence, building upon work developing the Time's Up Augmented Garden. She was practically exploring fungi as a decomposing, transforming and connecting tissue at the challenging urban playground.

This page attempts to summarise some of the experiences in a wiki format, to allow easy editing and access by interested people as well as those involved.
Some details of the experiences are collected here: questions, ideas and further experiences are accumulating. Slowly but surely.

Some of the mechanical devices
Harvest quantities 2011
Ideas: ongoing supply seems to work and offer immediate feedback: salads, tomatoes, capsicums
Experiences:
  * Pumpkins: the plants grow well but the pumpkins do not
  * Potatoes:  deep system sort of worked (link to blog)
  * Beetroot: okay
  * carrots: good flavour, not very big.
  * Tomatoes: grow well, rain protection and sunshine / warmth help
  * Capsicum and chillis: grew well. The existing plots can be re-used, which is meant to be great for chilli.
  * Making the high hanging gardens self-seeding would be good, new plant colony is possible.
  * The 2011 harvest is listed here: http://timesup.org/content/harvest-2011

Watering:
  * the main windmill is operating, but is suffering from age.
  * The backup pump system works well and was probably necessary.
  * The Ram was effective. Has been dismantled for now.
  * The tipping pipes tipple along nicely
  * The high hanging gardens are surviving.
