We’re hooked up to the fire hydrant! Watering should be easier now that we have great water pressure. :)

Going Forward:

Want to water your own plot? That’s fine – just follow the instructions* to set up the hoses and carry on!

Want to help with general watering? Just login** to our website and join the Water Group:

Joining this group will allow you to post updates to everyone who’s helping and get e-mails when we post questions (you can choose how often you get e-mails at that page too, the default is everything).

I’m hoping this website will be pretty easy for all of us to start using, but I also thought a more detailed introduction might help get us started more quickly.

I’m going to go over the features I’ve added to this site and add some instructions for customizing your profile information. If something isn’t clear or seems wrong, please let me know!

If you have more ideas for ways we can use this website, feel free to leave comments on this post or send them to webmaster@merchantparkcommunitygarden.org.
