That's right, Laurie! I never seem to rake enough of it. If it warms
up this week-end, I'll be at it again. I need to mulch two beds near
the house and a 150' row of daylilies. It is the most wonderful
mulch I have found as it does not pack and it does not blow away.
It just gradually decomposes and enriches the soil.
Even where pine straw is available for the raking, I see bales of it at
garden centers for sale for up to as much as $7.50 a bale.
