Mulched!

8 years ago

I got my mulching basically done. I raked up 25 large and extra large bags from the church I attend. I just need a few more [next week--taking a break for Thanksgiving and family] to thicken up a few places and extra for next summer. Here's a few photos.

Wonderful. I have most of mine done, but still a couple small areas to do. But doesn't it feel wonderful?

Yes, Signet, they are pine needles. Our church has way over 100 pine trees [never counted them] around 2 sides of its large property [it is a mega-church]. I can take all I want & it helps the groundskeepers with their clean-up.

Yes, it does feel wonderful, Kay! Thanks for the kind comments everyone.

Hurray, another chore done. I wish the pine mulch was available here. Our friends in S. Carolina use it, it seemed to hold up better and stays put.
