I have not posted anything in awhile, but with a new season right around the corner, it was time to get with it. The gardening gods sent some local tree trimmers to the neighborhood, so I had to jump into action. I asked them if they were interested in dumping the wood chips in our yard, and they were happy to do so. Lucky me!!!!
I am aware that the use of freshly chipped up wood as mulch is highly debated.
We here at ghetto gardens say, "Whatever". Its free. It does its job. And did I mention, its free. If I bought the amount of mulch I need @ 20-25 dollars a yard, with the price of gas to transport it, versus free, you do the math. Not to mention that this practice is quite common for me.
I hope this is only the first pile of mulch I score this year.
A little here,
A little there,
and even some here.
Now you'll see why I need even more mulch. This backyard is a tragedy. The greenhouse is a wreck. That plastic only lasted one season. The moles have built a community in the lawn, and I have a ton of junk to pitch. I think I have enough mulch to get this area mulched, but I have The West Lawn still to mulch.
Here is the mulch that I have left.
