Mulching Again
Four of us went out again today, to continue getting the garden in order. We still had quite a bit of cardboard from yesterday, so two of us went on mulch-collecting duty, and the rest of us continued weeding the plots. Most of the beds were relatively low on weeds, so this task was easy enough. Yesterday's horse manure was mixed into the beds, but we should add some more next time we go out, because there is a bunch of unused manure left over.
We brought in two more truckloads of mulch. and made good progress covering the paths with cardboard and mulch. On the way back, the two of us in the back of the pickup had quite the zen experience, as we were made one with the mulch. All in all, a lot of work got done, but a lot more remains...
