<p>I am sad that I got kicked off the call yesterday. I'm wondering
if we can't use an existing bench to avoid the cost, plus it would
probably be in a public place and meets the city code. That would
drop the cost and perhaps we could afford more then one station.

Our message from the safety services director. He did not
mention the plant rescue, but I am assuming that it goes with
approval of the solarization. Will let you know as soon as we
hear from Bill Farnsworth, chair of lands, buildings, and parks.
I also messaged Geoff Schenkel about looking for alternate
sites, so there should not be a problem.</div>

<span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;
color:black">I walked the Harmar riverbank yesterday
with the master naturalist who will be designing our
plantings and a master gardener volunteer with some
expertise in habitat plantings. Both recommend
solarizing the area as a means of getting rid of
invasive plants and turfgrass. If you are not familiar
with the concept, it involves covering areas with
black plastic to allow the sun's heat to kill the
vegetation underneath, a process that takes several
months. The advantages of solarization are no soil
disturbance and no need for herbicides. Killing the
roots and seeds of invasive plants will also reduce
later maintenance, which is always a concern.</span></p>

<span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;
color:black">However, because the process is
time-consuming and slows considerably in the winter,
it should ideally be started as soon as possible. The
timeline for the three readings of the resolution
would likely take us into December, which could push
planting time into the summer if we get a hard winter.
Might it be possible to lay the plastic before then?</span></p>
