It's great that she knows where and what manure comes from. Other kids will think it's made at Wal Mart. I worry about the bags too, but sometimes, you have to go with the less expensive option and not the greenest one.<br /><br />So, when are you going to introduce her to worm composting? :) ~~DeeDee/reddirtramblingshttp://www.reddirtramblings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644837848136749892.post-66380401873870606502009-04-25T10:12:00.000-07:002009-04-25T10:12:00.000-07:00Hi VW, how satisfying spreading all that compost a...Hi VW, how satisfying spreading all that compost and mulch, rolls royce treatment for your precious plants, which are already looking happy and appreciative. And it is great that children recognize the virtues of poo.

I use the bag stuff from our favorite nursery... I called the local compost farm and the cost of delivery was more then the cost of compost! We need a truck and a few friends who want to share the the compost to make it worth while to deliver in quantity! gailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644837848136749892.post-18249133435958263942009-04-23T12:41:00.000-07:002009-04-23T12:41:00.000-07:00Holy Shmoly Jan, you are definitely the mulch quee...Holy Shmoly Jan, you are definitely the mulch queen this spring!

It all looks good, too;-) We just brought in 140 bags of mulch (70 were from H.D., and another 70 were from my son's boyscout mulch sale)...and my husband has put down half of them so far. We also had a whole truckload of compost/manure/soil dumped on our driveway and spread throughout gardens in my backyard. We're getting a trailer so my husband can haul in another half a truck load and dump in on the driveway again tomorrow! I haven't posted about this yet...it's going to be a lot of posts because we have redone our whole backyard!!!

Wonderful that your compost choice turned out so well - you're right, that sweet smell means it was thoroughly composted, a much more desirable state, and as composting becomes more mainstream, more purveyors are shortening the process.<br /><br />I am also a fan of black around new plants, although generally I spread just a thin layer of compost and then finish with a couple of inches of black mini bark mulch. Your plants are going to love the cadillac version you're giving them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2644837848136749892.post-64552620538119420702009-04-22T04:42:00.000-07:002009-04-22T04:42:00.000-07:00Very thrifty of you and smart too!

As for the "Green" method, those delivery trucks spew forth a ton of nasty, horrid black exhaust so in some ways you did choose the green option. <br /><br />Your borders look fantastic. I like your choice of edging material. The lawn mower tires can roll right over it, I bet. <br /><br />Thank you for the nice comments on my blog, VW. I'm curious about your rock situation.

I originally planned to get compost delivered too, but it was mostly the big pile to deal with that changed our minds. I've just been getting 10 bags at a time and spreading it. I can't believe what a deal you got!! I wish we had a Walmart nearby!Catherine@AGardenerinProgresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05001060769253273283noreply@blogger.com
