[Community_garden] Speaking of garden water

[Mike McGrath]

I taped an interview with ORGANIC GARDENING editor Scott Meyer yesterday 
about their rainwater harvesting program for community gardens. VERY 
interesting; a great program--they build you a thousand gallon cistern! 15 
will be awarded this year (get your applications in soon!).
    The interview will air on the show after next; that's Jan 26th in 
Philly; you can listen online at www.youbetyourgarden.org beginning on the 
26th and for a week after. Just click 'listen'
