I Got My Mulch Today!
Double Ground Hardwood Mulch |
I rang the sawmill where I get my mulch from each year and ordered two scoops of double ground hardwood mulch. The woman first told me that they only sold a minimal of four scoops but I told her they sold me two scoops before so the woman was kind enough to do so again this year. I really like ordering from them because they don't cheat me like the mulch supply that is closer to me. They use to sell me two small bobcat loads for the same price and charge me $25.00 to deliver it. My two large scoops of mulch was only $110.00 and that included the delivery fee.
My wheelbarrow has a flat tyre so that will need to be repaired first. However, it is a simple job to remove the tyre and find the hole in the tube. I am getting a lot of stilt grass coming up in the bed along the front of the house, so I need to get the mulch down in that bed first to help control the stilt grass. Mulching beds helps to control weeds and helps to keep the beds from drying out in the summer sun.
