We now officially have our garden license for the Northwold property. This is a City of Columbus land bank lot that we will use for the gardening season. The price has gone up from $1 to $10, but that is really not that bad. There are some different parts of the agreement this year. One of the biggest changes is that all food crops needs to be in raised beds with untreated wood and at least 12 inches of uncontaminated soil. We did have a lead test done on the lot and feel the soil is safe to grow veggies directly in the ground. We will comply and plant our veggies in raised beds and some flowers in some other areas on the lot. There is so much potential with this lot and we will use it as a type of "production garden" for now.
