Last Tuesday, we reported on longtime East Village resident Siobhan Meow taking care of the formerly mucky-smelly tree well on Avenue A just south of Sixth Street (now known as the Noel Reed Memorial Tree Pit).
We spotted Siobhan at work yesterday, putting in some early ground cover for the soil ...
We're looking forward to seeing this formerly soggy, bread-ridden plot come to life this spring.

Can someone tell whoever keeps tossing tons of bread there to chill?that constant pigeon traffic is keeping this area a mess
It's a relief to see individuals take action to better our city, one soggy tree well at a time.
If only dog owners would not put their dogs in the tree pit I tend. The dogs scratch out all the bulbs, seedlings, flowers and plants I've bought with my own money and planted there. The dogs urinate on the tree and defecate on the plants. Then, their owners trampled plants.
Gardening in public is so difficult.
Please water any trees near you this summer. NYC does not water trees in tree pits.

I've even given up telling the pigeon-feeders that bread isn't good for birds (it isn't.) The response I usually get is something to the effect of: "But if I don't feed them, they'll starve to death!"
I’m a dog owner and 100% support this. If you can train your dog to not piss in your house, you can (and should!) train your dog to piss on the curb. It’s a pretty basic courtesy to your neighbors.
Yes, I often wonder whatever happened to the practice of curbing your dog, and then cleaning up after it. sh!t and p!ss everywhere is such a drag.
jesus cris! Do you people not know that the pigeon feeders are completely insane?
You can't talk logic to them.
I can confirm that there are at least two pigeon feeders who make a mess of this tree well, there may be more but I’ve witnessed two distinct people at different times of day.
