Gardener grows vegetables organically
Organic fertilizer
The vegetables grown in the community garden project located between Clinton and
Goderich are grown organically with natural fertilizers such as compost and animal manure
which gardener Bob Bud is turning over here. The community garden project was started
three years ago and allows poeple who don't have the time or inclination to garden an
opportunity to have fresh vegetables all summer long through a shareholding system.

cheap. But when they throw all
their organic material in the dump,
the best they give back to farmers
is sewage sludge," he said. "Farm
ers have little choice but to apply
chemical fertilizers."
Mr. Bud is thankful he has a
choice with the three-acre commu
nity garden he farms.
Already, the community garden
concept is gamering wide-interest.

He recently received a letter from a
professor in Seoul, Korea who's
interested in studying the concept.
As well, a University of Guelph
horticulture student has decided to
spend his summer working free-of-
charge on the community garden
project and study perma-culture
which is an approach to sustainable
lifestyles.
As the idea continues to take root
with educators, community garden
shareholders continue to harvest the
'fruits' of the labour.
