A friend once said, "Never underestimate the power of mulch." I'm thinking she is one of the wisest people right now, as I look at my yard with giddy excitement! I started out with 10 bags of mulch (thinking I would have so much leftover)....and then I went back to Home Depot 2 more times, making my TOTAL mulch purchase equal 40 bags, YES, 40!!!!
I must preface that my yard has been pretty much neglected for the past 2 years, getting only the least, absolute necessary care. Although I live on one acre, we have numerous flowerbeds and areas around the trees that used to have mulch, but now have more black plastic showing than mulch. Between childbirth, other surgeries, and moving to Interlochen last summer, the yard wasn't high on the priority list. I had many ideas that never had a chance of evolving due to the lack of time. This summer, however, I have decided to put the yard slightly higher on the list.....and it all began with mulch.
My once weed-filled flowerbeds are now clean and fresh looking!! The area around my trees are blanketed with mulch! The area where the dog is chained up now has a nice layer of mulch, instead of exposed dirt from the constant wear and tear. Mulch and more mulch everywhere! What a difference mulch makes!
