Hey everyone !! I know very little about gardening, just your basic, "Oh that's pretty", buy it, put it in the ground and hope for the best. I am always open to learn how not to kill them.

I love mulch !! Just never been sure how much to lay, if it's suppose to be "fluffed up" the next year or replaced.

And it looks very nice sissy..........you are a good fence builder and mulch putter onner among many other things you do!
I love the way putting on at least 3" or 4" of mulch helps keeps the weeding down. I hate weeding! And don't anybody tell me it's relaxing and gives you all kinds of time to think about life, this that and the other...........bull pucky,lol!

No kidding pulled about 3 wagon loads today, more tomorrow, mulch going down soon. I wanted to wait on the mulch for my plants to start growing so I would not cover them up.

true weed pulling is no fun and hate weeds .I don't find it relaxing as I think the weeds are just laughing at me and they have a secret agenda ,grow faster

I usually fluff one year than add the next, but than, like I said, I never knew how much should go down. I obviously wasn't putting mine down thick enough. This year, I will put it down thicker. I don't have a lot of weeds, mostly those darn things with the prickly things on them. You have to wear gloves to pull them. Don't know if they are Dandelions or what. Oh, and those things that smell like onions !!! Long green stems. They are everywhere !!! Don't know how I got those things.
