Mr. Mulch

Here's Dave, a man with a mission and the mission is MULCH. We are lucky to live within an hour or less of two massive mulch deposits. Free mulch for the digging! Dave goes out whenever he has nothing better to do, rain or shine and loads up the specially rigged trailer, and fills it with wood chips, usually fragrant pine. What does he do with all those chips?


 He makes paths, drives, edges, weed barriers and wet spot fills. Our back yard is covered with mulch, and that means no weak, pitiful grass to mow. We have plenty of good grass in other spots. Wherever nothing but weeds will grow, mulch now covers.
 Eventually the mulch decays and becomes one with the earth, forming something like soil.
And it gives us something unmuddy to walk on.

It keeps the weeds to to a minimum and keeps the plant roots moist and cool.
 It defines the shady areas, and as you can see, it disappears after a season, meaning more mulch is needed.

The dawgs greet the returning Dave.
