RE: mulch

Donna: I send my kids out in the neighborhood to collect the
leaves...they make lovely winter mulch! And this way, it's just a bunch
of kids playing in the leaves and not some crazy woman! Haha!

You are lucky Auralie... wish I had the stuff to make my own
mulch...<br>not much here yet... heck, I am still going over to the
older<br>neighborhoods and stealing leaves in the fall to cover my
plants...<br>geesh....my neighbors are about to have me committed as it
is.. :)<br><br>Donna<br><br>> <br>> Am I the only person in the world
who doesn't use commercial mulch? I<br>> won't<br>> say I have never
bought mulch - some years ago I invested in a few<br>bags of<br>> cocoa
hulls for a bed that needed more help than I could provide,
and<br>I<br>> use salt<br>> hay in the vegetable garden when I can find
it. Other than that I use<br>> compost, leaves, pine needles and well
rotted wood chips the tree man<br>> leaves us when<br>> we have tree
work done. The chips have to rot for two or three years<br>> before<br>>
they are good for mulch. Lots of my neighbors use that awful
red<br>stuff -<br>> sorry<br>> if I'm offending anyone but I think it is
hideous. Maybe I'm<br>backward.<br>>
