Community gardens are shared spaces that confer both physical and social benefits to participants ( Draper and Freedman, 2010 ; Litt et al., 2011 ). These spaces are found in both rural and urban settings, across socioeconomically diverse
the field. Soil EC a can be correlated with chemical and physical properties of soil profiles such as salinity or groundwater levels. Soil data are usually collected from an EMI instrument pulled behind a vehicle driving in a predetermined path
that composted dairy cattle manure solids can be an acceptable substitute for peat in container substrate ( Gorodecki and Hadar, 1990 ; Li et al., 2009 ; Wang et al., 2004 ) because the physical and chemical properties of this compost are adequate to
