Free Mulch!

The county has free mulch at a number of compost sites. Bring your own tools and containers and you can have as much as you want until they run out.

This week I've been making trips periodically with my Dad's pickup. 3 loads down and probably another 8 or so to go. At least I'm getting my exercise and staying out of trouble...

This week's slide show is the island bed between the driveway and the patio. At the beginning of the year it contained a lonely weeping Birch. Later we added Quick Fire Hydrangeas, upright Sedum, Coreopsis, and some annuals. The light-colored mulch is the free stuff from the county; the darker is cocoa mulch for the annual bed. The cocoa mulch smells fantastic when you first put it on!
