GARDENING WORKSHOP
=====================
The NE Portland Tool Library is starting a series of home repair and
gardening workshops this year. Tom Thompson and Robert Bowles have
organized a “Wake Up Your Garden” workshop in mid-March. The final
details are still being hammered out and you can learn more by
e-mailing the Tool Library. NEPTLinfo@Gmail.com
=============================
NEW BUSINESS SPACE AVAILABLE
=============================
Dave Spitzer and his crew at DMS Architects, a firm located on MLK,
have been working hard to renovate the old bakery at the corner of
Dekum and Durham. For many years this was a functioning bakery, going
back far enough to have a brick fire oven in the back of the building.
The large space is being renovated, divided up and is available for
lease.
========================
NEIGHBORHOOD CLEAN UP
========================
If you’re like most of us, a spring cleaning can feel really
rewarding, but it can also unearth large items that won’t fit in the
curbside collection. That’s why we have an annual neighborhood clean
up where you can drop off large items, recyclables and more.
For more information, see our website. Volunteers are needed, and you
can get a free load in exchange for your volunteerism.
The Neighborhood Clean Up is a fundraiser for the Woodlawn
Neighborhood Association, your neighborhood resource.

GARDENING TIP
==============
Need mulch? Most landscaping companies will deliver mulch for free
since at the end of a productive day they have a truck load of
chipped-up debris they need to dump somewhere anyway. It’s not always
the most refined mulch, but it makes for a great covering to use in a
large area.
The delivery load is pretty big. You really have to commit yourself
to using a lot of much, or team up with your neighbors to share a
delivery. Don’t even bother to ask for a smaller load, because that’s
just not an option. Many companies will have a waiting period or
you’ll be on a list for when they’re in the area for a job, so plan
ahead and be prepared to wait.
And what about that pesky grass, anyway? If you’ve been frustrated
with lawn mowing and weed pulling, maybe it’s time to consider
removing your grass.
