Mulch

Every year I get one or two truckloads of mulch for the yard.

It comes from a sawmill nearby.  The mulch is usually pretty rough with lots of big chunks of wood.  The people aren't at the sawmill very often so it is sort of hit or miss about being able to get the mulch.  I had the day off and heard they were suppose to be there so I went but still had to wait half an hour for them to show up.  It also was raining all day but I didn't know when the next time would be where they would be in and I would have the day off.
The reason I put up with all of this is because a truckload only cost $20. (I had already unloaded part of this load before I took the picture.)  The price is hard to beat.
