hehehe. We bought the house in '05 and I'm not one for moving. Did that too many times before we bought the house. We were rarely in an apt for more than a year before we moved.. hated moving. Told my DH that once we buy a house, I'm gonna be like either an oak tree or a dandelion. gonna put down roots & that's IT. That mountain of mulch right there was a great buy... all I had to do was pay for the delivery. Got over 12 CY of cedar for $80. Can't beat that with a stick. Really dreading having to buy mulch this spring... gonna run probably around $500 or so. $41/CY plus delivery... ugh! I've done the bags of western cedar and it gets too expensive for what all I need to do. Even if they go majorly on sale, I think it takes like 9 bags to make 1 CY. But my math isn't the best and I need at least 15-20 CY to cover my entire yard front & back.

Perfectly simple ideas like this one always get by me. Thanks for posting this. This will save me oodles of time when I mulch.

Cheryl, I am glad that you too are going to use this idea, it sure saves time.

I think that simple solutions are harder to think of than Rube Goldberg solutions.
Simple EFFECTIVE solutions are even harder!

If I had an army of volunteers with shovels, weeding tools and wheelbarrows, I'd never think at all!

Yes you would!
