Breaking New Ground

PURPOSE As the growing season begins, gardeners will be tilling the land and preparing it for planting. Gardeners from across central Ohio count on the Tool Library at Modcon to provide free access to the equipment they need to optimize the soil that feeds so many. It takes a lot of work to make a garden grow! Last year, gardeners borrowed the Tool Library’s tillers 133 times. To support the 2019 season and many seasons to come, Modcon needs your help to replace six tillers.
