It's truly a 'Chamber of Commerce' day today. Wish I could be out spreading mulch, had to get cleaned up to go to the dentist!
We don't buy mulch by the cubic yard any more. Brought home a pickup truck load, and couldn't believe how little mulch there was, because it was all fluffed up. We get twice as much for just a little more money buying it in bags. Proved this by actually weighing the truck with the mulch in the back.
My DH likes it better too, because when it's in bags, I can schlep it to the beds myself with no shoveling. Slide a couple of bags off the tailgate into the wheelbarrow . . . dump them in place. He's a great help when he has to, but would rather work on mechanical stuff than garden any day.
