It is an amazing organization called LoveDale. http://www.lovedalefoundation.org

They make aound 150 meals everyday and buy most of their vegetables 4 miles away and have to make this trip, by foot, approximately every 2 days. As LoveDale is a not-for-profit organisation, this incurs costs that could be better spent elsewhere.

Our intention is to create a vegetable garden, providing foods such as tomatoes, onions, garlic and chillies, among others, that are the staple ingredients in the meals prepared here. The vegetable plot is a narrow strip, approx. 24 inches in depth but approx. 100 feet long (roughly 30 metres). We feel that this is adequate room to, if not feed the school for a year, to grow enough food to significantly reduce the costs incurred in purchasing and time undertaken to do this.

Having decided to undertake this project, we have come across one main issue and it's a pretty significant one: we have a serious lack of water. Plenty of sun, plenty of space, not plenty of water. But having watched your TED talk on window farms in New York, we have been inspired to make this project work. We KNOW it can work.

So, why am I emailing you? Well, although inspired, we are not blessed with a huge amount of knowledge on this issue and also a huge amount of resources in terms of time to make sure it runs efficiently on a regular basis, i am asking for some advice on how to implement a watering system where water is a limited resource.

If you have a few moments, maybe you could offer some advice or even point us in the direction of people, websites or organisations that could help us.

Your time and efforts would be EXTREMELY welcome

Thank you for your time

Sincerely

Manuel Centeno
