During the summer, maintaining an abandoned garden can be a challenge. Engaging volunteer parents and students for summer maintenance is vital for reviving these spaces. Effective strategies include solarization to naturally eliminate weeds, and using mulch for moisture retention and soil health. Understanding the best types of mulch, like compost, grass clippings, and leaves, can significantly enhance growth and control weeds. Resources for local compost sources are also key. Together, we can transform abandoned gardens into vibrant spaces through community effort.
