If you have read the book by John Jeavon's "How to Grow More Vegetables in less space than you ever thought possible" he also has many educational DVD's that accompany many of his books, He happens to have some software (if you have access to the book) that you can sample for 5 days and helps "streamline the data entry and planning process" based off of one's own diet. Or in your case the diets of the community garden folks, if you have not read his book, I do recommend it highly as it is one of the best resource books for creating intense gardens, that maximize space and that also grows your own compostable plants and takes into account one's complete dietary needs (staple crops as well as other crops)  Don't know about the Read Free part, http://www.growbiointensive.org/GBDietDesign.html

I'm working with our community gardens and looking for basic software (read free) or a method to plot out the various gardens.  I'm not finding anything that meets a simple plotting - allocating space, plant designation, etc.

Suggestions appreciated!

Looks pretty good David.  Thanks for the heads-up... and very good to hear from you.

I'm definitely not looking to detract from this community, but I stumbled across another resource that could be beneficial to a lot of people in this community.

As a web programmer, I use a website called stackoverflow.com a lot. It is a great Q&A website that has become a great resource for finding quick answers. The basis for this site has been branched off into almost 100 other sites now and there is one dedicated to sustainable living that just started!

I really like these resources, because the answers and information become general knowledge that anyone can search and find on the Internet. They also tend to bring together a lot of very passionate people.

You can check it out here: http://sustainability.stackexchange.com/

The Sustainable Food Production program at MN State College/Fergus Falls is being suspended because it is not yet making money after 3 years. There's a Petition at link below (Change.org) asking for reinstatement. I added a comment to my signature that publicizing the program nationwide was essential. If you are so inclined, please check it out.
