A Guide for Making #CommunityGardens #Accessible for all Members

"This guide uses #UniversalDesign to improve community garden accessibility for all members. It focuses on providing #AccessiblePathways, tools, and planting options, creating opportunities for education, fresh produce, and therapeutic stress relief for people of all abilities.

This guide, created by Melissa Bravo, aims to enhance community garden accessibility for all members using Universal Design principles. It provides guidance on alterations community gardeners can make, focusing on #AccessibleWalkways (entrances, width, safety, materials), accessories (#ramps, #railings, #signage), water access, planters (raised beds, vertical gardening), #AccessibleTools, and #SensoryGardenPlants. By building accessible gardens, the guide emphasizes providing opportunities for agricultural education, access to locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables, and therapeutic stress relief for people of all abilities through therapeutic horticulture.

The guide promotes the principles of Universal Design to create environments of #inclusion in community gardens, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to benefit from garden participation. It highlights specific design considerations like operable gate handles, appropriate path widths, and stable surfaces to enable access for people with limited mobility. Appendices offer detailed instructions on accessible features, tools, and sensory garden plants. Ultimately, the guide serves as a resource for gardeners seeking to create inclusive spaces that capture the diversity of their communities."

Here's another take on the DOJ's "opinion" (against the Olmstead #SCotUS decision).
Mother Jones says it's about putting homeless in institutions, not about physical building access, as other orgs have interepreted.

I love spring ephemerals! 🧄🧅

Unrelated to typography, but we decided to delve into #3Dprinting. We did this for our own growth and with small expense.

We 👷 🧙‍♀️ had fun, and we will do it again!

Features 12v motion and 24v heating!

[Перевод] Проект EWaste: 3D-принтер за 60 долларов

Этот проект посвящен созданию ультрабюджетного 3D-принтера, основой которого служат переработанные электронные компоненты. В результате получается компактный 3D-принтер, сборка которого обойдётся менее чем в 100 долларов. Сначала разберёмся, как устроена обычная ЧПУ-система — соберём и откалибруем подшипники, направляющие, резьбовые валы — и научим машину понимать G-код. После этого добавим небольшой пластиковый экструдер и рассмотрим процессы калибровки экструзии, настройки тока драйверов и другие операции, которые запускают всё в дело. Следуя этим инструкциям, вы получите компактный 3D-принтер, примерно на 80% собранный из переработанных компонентов, что заметно снижает стоимость и открывает простор для доработок.

@Knightky and I foraged for ramps today. They smell wonderful. I'm thinking I'll make a frittata with them. #foraging #ramps

Scored some ramps on a nature walk with the kiddo!

Wild ramps are a leek/onion/garlic relative that grows all over sunny hillsides in this part of the country during the early spring. People are passionate about them - there's festivals and everything.

Dig em up! But always have some behind to propagate next year.

They're great grilled, but we didn't have a ton and I had a bunch of leftover mashed potatoes so, I present to you: ramp latkes!

@optimant @tinker ❤️ I am so glad you mentioned "just the leaves".

Someone told me that it takes 3 to 5 years to regrow from #bulb but I've only picked them from the wild in unknown forests in #Appalachia

Thank you for sustainablely growing #ramps.

@tinker

Here in #Appalachia, it's #Ramps (which are in danger of being over harvested). There is nothing finer than getting together for a big ramp and potato dinner.

How were #pyramids built in ancient #Egypt, lifting #300kgstones?
Engineers and geologists introduced a fresh theory suggesting that a #HydraulicLiftSystem might have been used to float the heavy stones up the middle of Egypt's oldest pyramid using #storedwater.
Constructing large pyramids might have involved various techniques such as #ramps, #cranes, #winches, #togglelifts, #hoists, #pivots or a #mix.

Looking into ADA requirements for ramps and steps but found a bit about how curb ramps should prevent an accumulation of water.
https://www.access-board.gov/ada/guides/chapter-4-ramps-and-curb-ramps/

Paragraph 406.1 says that Curb ramps must be designed to prevent an accumulation of water.
Does that mean all intersections where there are curb ramps and water accumulates are out of compliance? Sounds this a motivation for continuous sidewalks?

[Перевод] SCARA-Laser. Часть 2. Переизобретаем велосипед

Как только я разобрался с кинематикой, я отправился шерстить интернет в поисках уже существующих решений и обнаружил свой проект уже готовым. Ну почти. https://howtomechatronics.com/projects/laser-engraving-with-diy-arduino-scara-robot-complete-guide/ - лазерный гравер на SCARA-кинематике с контроллером Arduino Mega. Ровно то, что я хотел. Но этой статьи бы не было, если бы я просто скачал модельки, распечатал и собрал по инструкции.

Planners reject proposals for skatepark at Fforestfach Industrial Estate

City planners have rejected a proposal to convert an industrial unit on Fforestfach Industrial Estate into an indoor skatepark and shop.

The plans were from the owners of the former Ramps skatepark in Llanelli, who closed suddenly in February.

At the time of the closure in a statement on their facebook page, the skatepark said: “This has been a very difficult time for the Leisure & Hospitality industry and we know from keeping in touch with the skate park network across the UK that skate parks in particular have found the last 12 months very challenging.

“After a lot of soul searching we have had to make the difficult decision to move from our current location at the end of the existing lease.”

The skatepark had originally planned to open at their new location in May, and construction of the wooden skate ramps in the new unit has already been completed. 

In their rejection notice, Swansea Council planners outlined that the skate park had failed to demonstrate the lack of demand for the current usage of the industrial unit that would justify its change of use. The proposals were also not in keeping with the council’s local development plan to ensure sustainable development and reduce travel demand.

Swansea Bay News has contacted Ramps for comment.
