Mulch

My next gardening project is to mulch the front bed. We have some new mulch at the Marvin Rd. house that I will start hauling here during the first couple to weeks in September. Once that is complete, I’ll have Blue Max deliver some better stuff to put on top. The Ideal amount is 4 inches deep. This prevents weeds and saves water by keeping the roots from drying out in the hot southern sun. So far, this project was survived on sheer drive to keep everything watered. I had hauled 78 bags of mulch from Home depot last year and still it fell dreadfully short. Not even an inch of coverage. We will be renting this house out eventually, so unless I want to come back to a disaster every couple of years, this is a must.
