My mistake of the year? Carefully calculate exactly how much bulk mulch to buy.

This is the day it was delivered - Thursday, April 15th Tax Day.

Today July 12th - 3 months later I still have about 12 wheelbarrow loads sitting there. I've shared (gladly) with 3 neighbors and my mother. No matter how good a deal it appears to be....calculate precisely how much bulk mulch to buy. :-P

I'm planning to bag up the remaining and use it this fall....next spring....next fall.....gosh knows how much longer I'll have this stuff.
