Bark Mulch

Ok so i went to the bark mulch place and looked on the price list and it said $30 a metre so I thought - so how much can a truck load be??!

SO - I sat down in the office all knowledgeable like and ordered a truck load (how much can you fit on a truck I asked - 7m he replied).. ok so my head goes 7x3 = $21. He added $40 for delivery and said he would have it there by 10am. That comes to $509.

Hmm - my maths was off somewhat (nothing unusual). So after inspecting the price list today it seems I got mega mulch bark and not tree bark - what's the difference you ask? I have absolutely no idea!

Anyway -that kept us busy today - I was trimming the dead and growing kikyuia from the trees and unloading the barrow fulls around the trees (and to the fence line) and George was filling the barrows.

We pulled the outdoor furniture out and used it - it was great. It was the best sit in the chair I have had!
