[Community_garden] Trex or other building material

[GivenTrees at aol.com]

Currently looking at the potential for a grant  (or deep discounts) from a 
box stores like Home Depot or Lowe's, and companies  like Trex.  I do need to 
provide (prove) the organic/green aspects of these  so called boxes.  
 
It serves a few purposes: 
    *   a place for people with no real place to grow, a  place to grow,  
    *   something big enough for 'communal' uses, (  four to ten persons)   
    *   utilizes boy scouts, girl scouts and  youth service projects for 
labor.  
    *   can contain and or hold in organic  soils. (obviously need drainage 
but would like to hold on to as much of  is as possible.) Have numerous 
companies willing to donate the soils, composts  and such, (all meet or exceed NOP 
standards)  
Just need to figure out the container  aspect.  Looking at a bigger picture 
here than your typical container  gardens.  
Just thought I'd put it out there, this list is great for  "putting peoples 
heads together"!
