Food Pantry Garden Gets Surveillance Cameras
Posted by Category: Avon Township Food Pantry, Avon Township Office, District 116 Area News, Round Lake NewsI had asked before the Avon Township Community Garden was planted if they were going to be adding a closed circuit surveillance system and wasn’t surprised when I stopped by a few days ago to see one installed. I had never seen one of the downspout rain water collection barrels and was quite impressed by the two that they are using for watering the vegetables. The water itself is being pumped from the retention pond for the convenience of the volunteers.
Surveillance cameras are now in operation at the Avon Township Community Garden!
The tomatoes have been staked and things are looking good

This is NOT how a Topsy Turvy planter should look!
This is a photo of my own Topsy Turvy planters
My 14 potted tomatoes have grown as high as the hanging planters

We actually do sell a unique lineup like you said. Rain chains make a great gift.

Barrels and Bins……….
I had never heard of a rain chain before and although it may slow the water as it leaves the gutter, it does not appear to move the water away from the foundation much. Isn’t that the whole idea of downspouts? I rather doubt that a home inspector would advise a home buyer to add rain chains rather than downspouts to handle the water.
Impressive site you have, though.
Thanks for visiting our blog.
