Peanut mulch, at last!

We finally got a truckload of peanut mulch today. First time we tried to go, we were about 5 miles into the 20-mile drive to Williston when my truck's front brakes started acting up, pulling to the right, with smoke pouring out of the right front wheel, to the tune of $400 worth on new brake calipers. The next time, the mulch supplier felt it was too wet and muddy to risk getting stuck between the mountains of peanut hulls, and we had to cancel. Today being Columbus Day, and a Federal holiday (so I have the day off), and a Monday (since the mulch place is only open Monday-Friday), it was mulch-gettin' time!

We got a full truckload, about enough to weigh down my little truck real good, and make it hard to steer above 50 m.p.h.



We used up the entire load on the two flowerbeds in the front yard, and spread a good layer over exposed tree roots under the maple and redbud tree. Maybe this will coax some grass to grow, eventually.
