Plot Maintenance Sample Clauses

Plot Maintenance. Gardeners must maintain plots (including adjacent aisles) throughout the growing season. Gardeners who do not maintain their plots will not be eligible for a plot in the following year. Maintaining includes: planting, weeding, and harvesting. Gardeners will keep weeds down and maintain the areas immediately surrounding their plot. Each gardener is expected to spend at least 1 hour per week working on his/her plot and the surrounding area. Please contact your garden coordinator if you will be moving, taking an extended vacation, or otherwise will be unable to maintain your plot throughout the gardening season. Or if, for any reason (health, vacation, work pressure), you will be temporarily unable to maintain their plot. If you have a substitute gardener, inform the coordinator. Any plot abandoned for more than 1 month, without having given prior notice (i.e. of vacation, sickness, etc.) to the garden coordinator, will be forfeited. At that time, it will be re-assigned or tilled in and any produce will be donated to charity. Gardeners agree to keep the garden and garden edges free of weeds, diseased plants, insect-infested plants and overripe vegetables. Weeds, if removed from your plot, are to be hauled to the compost site. Keep your garden neatly weeded on a regular basis. Weeds may not become taller than 8 inches. Weeds are a major complaint of neighbors and other gardeners, and are the leading cause of plot forfeiture. Gardeners may not not plant trees, shrubs, or perennial plants in plots. Perennial plants may be placed in containers within Gardeners’ plots. All gardeners must understand that it is their responsibility to maintain plants within the limits of their plot and to keep vegetation less than four feet in height, so as not to shade neighboring plots.
