I still need to research that since our garden is pretty far from our faucet out back. Who waters your community plots? How does that work? And do you pay an annual fee? Sorry for all the questions. I'm so fascinated by this! I lived in Brooklyn for 6 years, before moving to Staten Island and never knew this existed!meemsnychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584936035577822444noreply@blogger.com
