The Pile

I've been busy.  This huge pile of bark mulch has demanded most of my attention of late.  
This is ten cubic yards of bark mulch, not a small amount.   I'm not sure how many wheelbarrows full it takes to make a cubic yard but I'm guessing around 4-5.  That means that I filled, moved and spread out about 50 wheelbarrows of bark mulch.  No wonder I'm tired! Thankfully, Paul helped toward the end when my energy and enthusiasm were flagging.

All this mulch went everywhere around the place.  











In the beds around the house, out the back, down the side and in between the garden beds...oh, and on the flower garden, too.  It was a lot of work but worth it in the end.















See how great everything looks?  All clean and nice.  It had better last for a while because I'm not planning on doing this again for a long time!
