OMG, what have I done?!?!
It has been a beautiful week here in New York, and my neighbor had one of her cedar trees trimmed yesterday. I stopped to chat with her while walking our new puppy, and she told me the tree service was going to shred the branches on site, and she offered me the resulting mulch for my garden. Usually I spend about three hundred dollars each spring mulching all the roses with cedar chips, so this was great! Lots of free mulch!
So I told the guy operating the mulching truck just to dump the chips in front of my garage door when he was all done. He said there wouldn't be "too much", so I didn't give it much more thought, and ran some errands. When I came back - OMG! If this isn't very much, then what's his idea of a lot?!
