nasty thorns part two


This season's formal farming footwear is best displayed in pin-stripe or chevron.  Ad-hoc, I love my new socks!  We are ready to get to work.


Wheelbarrow tires are pumped and so are we.


Now that those nasty brambles have been run through the chipper, we have ourselves some fabulous mulch.  The city's newsletter arrived today and water restrictions have come into place.  Mulch helps keep the soil shaded, allowing it to retain moisture.  The living micro-organisms in the soil rely on moisture to stay alive.  

Making your own mulch saves you money and gives you the opportunity to get rid of yard waste at the same time.  It saves on the energy required to truck your store bought mulch in and haul your yard waste away on garbage day.  Mulch makes the garden beds look neat and tidy.  I love my chipper!
