Work Day 6:
To catch up from last week- I continued working on the bamboo planter. A man named Doug Eubanks offered to let us use bamboo from his land. I finished the planter, but it needs some structural improvements.
Friday we had an unscheduled meeting to discuss a possible grant opportunity with NCAT. It was good to clarify goals. I realized I had many projects in mind and decided to focus on the creation of one particular job, and everything else will be put on the back burner and maybe implemented at a later time.
There is so much this project can do! I think any one project that we complete is a benefit to the community and one step closer to our vision.
Today we had a Monday meeting; many projects were discussed. Everyone is doing a lot and that is great to see.
The prototype herb bed was planted, and we picked up some mulch from Teresa Cox. She will bring some plants Saturday, when we plan to plant the beds at the library. It looks ok, I think as the plants fill in it will look better.
Joel tilled the OMNI garden. Good job. All we need now is some compost and we can begin planting that!
Tomorrow I plan to harvest some bamboo from Serena's land after the meeting with NCAT.

Work Day 3:
We had a meeting this morning discussing budgets, finances, and projects. I will email notes of the meeting tomorrow.
I talked briefly to a lady at the Little Breadhouse about using local produce, and she seems interested. I'll post her contact info in the workbook.
Tyler Dallison and I modified the design of the bamboo planter because it was not stable.
Jeanie, Michelle, Kayla (Jeanie's friend), and Gypsie rebuilt part of the planter. It is now a lot stronger and we should be able to finish it tomorrow.
We had a great message tonight at church about how God will help you overcome temptation is you ask Him for help.

Work Day 2:
I talked to Rich and Bill about the proposal for the OMNI center garden layout. They wanted to see a drawn plan and to know how we plan to maintain it throughout the year. The plan has been drawn, so we are waiting for them to look it over and give us their verdict. It would be good to begin working on that as soon as possible because we have many plants that need to be in the dirt.
Jerry Hall showed me how to operate his tiller and we tore up some of the yard at the OMNI house. I apologize for that.
I began constructing a prototype planter for the Fayetteville Library Herb Garden. Steel wire and hemp rope was used to fasten the bamboo together.

Work Day 1:
We held our first weekly meeting this morning, in which we delegated tasks pertaining to some projects that we felt had some priority. I will be working on a community resources document, a letter writing template, the art show, and the Fayetteville garden planters this week.
Jeanie's dad gave us some design advice for the layout of the garden at OMNI, and we are in the process of awaiting approval from the building committee before we begin. I believe we should make that a priority due to the growing seasons of plants, and the value of this garden as a community education project.
We gathered dirt, bamboo, and a tiller from Jeanie's farm. Thanks to Jeanie, Andrea, Michelle, and Tai Chi for all the work they did today!
I'll be at the OMNI center tomorrow morning to work on the planter. The goal is to have one finished by early Wednesday so we can send pictures of it to Sam at the library so he an get an idea of what it will look like.
