That is great. Will feed a lot of people.
Are the plots now 4x8 or 4x10? At 4x8 plots total 1984ft^2; at 4x10, 2880ft^2.
Actually, I like the more-so geometric ideas, as they lend themselves to rapid implementation. Just did another survey. Along the alley, current plantings are approximately 15' apart, leaving room for plots. Do not envision a reason to remove any be…
And I think we should plant pear and plum trees along the fence.
We have, just in the space N of the gate on the E, 7000 ft2. I am really thinking at about 50 ft2/ plot we should make every attempt to put 100 plots in. This will still leave room for the ornamental work along the periphery as well as a "public" sp…
Since it would probably be an over-head, gravity-pumped design, the possibilities on the ground are irrelevant. However, I am concerned that it seems no one else has actually walked the site. I like the ideas per se, but I am also factoring in what…
we need to add soil. We can build the plots up and create separation with simple lumber wall of approx. 8" height. And my survey indicates that we have 7000 ft2 N of the gate on the E perimeter fence. So, we have theoretical room for nearly 100 allo…

Pam Richart said… - Hi James!
It appears we are neighbors. I'm at Jarvis and Paulina and hope you'll be able to join us this evening! Leah Marshall (whom you met at the Iron Chef Party and Joe and Barb Moore's home last Sunday) indicated you might be attending. We're at 1645 W. Jarvis - south side of the street, second "house" from the corner (white stucco with dark green trim). Just ring the bell marked "Richart" and we'll buzz you right in!
Looking forward to connecting - if tonight's not possible, then sometime soon!
Pam

Transition Rogers Park is a grassroots, from the ground up, community organization. No one is going to tell you what to do and how to do it.
If you have a thought or idea that could move the community forward toward resiliency and self-reliance, put it out there....and then begin it!
