DMZ Blitz

The Blitz was planned for weeks. Recruits were found. Equipment was secured. The propaganda about the blitz was effective. Finally the day was here. I packed my car and headed for the DMZ. But first I picked up my best associate in this type of work. We were met by Dawn at the DMZ. Marna was injured and could not participate. Our recruits slowly arrived. One of them called back home for backup. Equipped, we attacked the DMZ and within three hours our mission was accomplished.

The Blitz was the Garden Blitz part of the The Victory Garden Initiative Great Memorial Weekend Blitz. The DMZ was the Community garden Dawn, Marna and I created last year on a vacant lot. By the end of our time at the DMZ today we dug up all our growing mounds from last year and topped them with fresh enriched compost. We had spread wood chips in the non planting area of the garden.

After we were in the garden one of the neighborhood recruits called for help and brought her mother, sister and nephews. I went for my camera and I realized I had forgotten one important piece of equipment, my camera. So I took out my cell phone and this is where this picture came from. But Dawn and my associate in gardening did bring cameras and eventually there will be better quality pictures of the DMZ blitz today.

Also videographers assigned by The Victory Garden Initiative visited the DMZ and did some interviews with a number of persons. I will have that video on the DMZ page when it is available.

The theme of the Victory Garden Grassroots Movement is: Move Grass. Grow Food. Last year, the first thing we did was to cover the grass with cardboard and the cardboard with wood chips. The growing was done on mounds of soil we had created from waste with worm power.
