Wiregrass woes
If you haven’t done so yet, check out the community strawberry bed between the pavilion and the corn. It has been terraced (thanks to Susan Leonard for the RR ties!) and largely cleared of wiregrass — with one exception: the huge area of grass adjacent to the stone steps

A couple of us put in some time Sunday morning digging out wiregrass, but it will take more than two people and more than one session. So here’s my proposal: when you’re in the garden, take a few minutes to make a further dent in the wiregrass. It doesn’t have to be a major session; just do as much as you can stand. The mud is slippery, but it does make it easier to pull whole roots out. The best implement is a fork (and your hands).
Once we get the area cleared, we can work on a more permanent solution.
Happy weeding!
