Dear Jim,
For several years now, I have been giving advice to the group regarding
disease and pest control. Now I need some input from all of the group as to
a problem we are having at our community garden.

getting contaminated water into a great many of our garden plots. Water
that will carry every disease that dogs carry in their feces.

adamant that this Dog Park is going to be there. We are not against a Dog
Park. Just the location.
IF our El Dorado Regional Park did not encompass miles and miles of park, I
could see why they are insistent on locating it where they want to. But,
they are insistent and will not listen to anything we have to say.

there would not be run off into our commun
