Community garden volunteer signup

Watering weeks and workday crews to keep the beds alive.

Community gardens fail in August, when the watering rotation collapses. A week-per-slot rotation makes the commitment visible and small — one week, not a season — and workday crews handle the jobs no single gardener will do alone.

How to run it well

  • Watering is one person per week; two people half-watering is how beds die.
  • Put the water-source location and how-long-to-soak notes in the description.
  • Schedule workdays as separate crews (weeding, mulch) so people pick a job, not a vague morning.
  • Publish the rotation a month at a time; August needs recruiting in June.

Why SlotsFilled? Participants never create accounts, everyone can edit or cancel their own signup from their confirmation email, reminders go out automatically, and the sheet prints cleanly for the clipboard crowd.
