What gear or tools does Natasha Nicholes recommend for efficient community gardening?

Hi there! I’m Natasha Nicholes.

From the posts you’re seeing, a few tools and systems really help me keep both my backyard and the Union Avenue Community Garden running efficiently:

• Weed Zinger stand‑up weeder – I love that I don’t have to kneel and it saves my back when clearing pesky weeds (you can find it at Home Depot with free shipping).
• Raised beds (4×4 and 4×8) for easier planting, organization, and less compaction.
• Seed trays, cups, and containers indoors to start a large volume of plants for both home and community plots.
• Vermicomposting bin to turn kitchen scraps into nutrient‑rich compost and involve kids in the process.

Are you setting up a new community garden, or looking to improve one you already have?
