Wonderful resource though, having your own woodchip. <br /><br />People don't realise you need to grow healthy soil if you want to grow good plants, I guess soil doesn't photograph well for the gardening magazines ;)Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488670649558382921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-90959021285108839842009-07-11T22:12:33.526-04:002009-07-11T22:12:33.526-04:00Why not let the pile get bigger next time?

There must have been enough dead wood and leaves in there to not need decomposition. <br /><br />One good thing about our county landfill, is that all "yard waste" is shredded at the landfill as mulch and given away to the public for free. It's always been gone when we've been there, so this is obviously a popular feature. I couldn't wait for any to become available, so I'm glad we did this to have our own!Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-21142905652450672842009-07-11T09:01:34.479-04:002009-07-11T09:01:34.479-04:00Good choice.

Some mulch, branches and etc cleaned up, and NOT paying to dump it in a land fill.bspinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11385723696922637454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-21115087001779774572009-07-10T10:08:37.321-04:002009-07-10T10:08:37.321-04:00sounds like you need to let your new mulch become ...sounds like you need to let your new mulch become old mulch somewhere. I've been using all our old wood for firewood...unfortunately we haven't had much chance for fires lately as it has been too windy. But sometime this summer that is supposed to quit. LOL! I just hope it ends before we go camping.Renee Nefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08167893445846427824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-82653876478731312202009-07-10T07:23:50.267-04:002009-07-10T07:23:50.267-04:00The yard looks great.

I love mulch, sadly, we use very little up here due to fire danger and of course, everything that would need to be mulched is eaten by deer anyway!<br />I'll bet you two are still tickled pink every morning you wake up in your own house.Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574936988046982209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-47320607998220704762009-07-10T03:32:44.570-04:002009-07-10T03:32:44.570-04:00Very efficient.

I hope it was for you. :-)MiniKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395914933366678553noreply@blogger.com
