A fellow gardener showed up today with his sons and a chipper to help tackle a massive brush pile that had been sitting in my backyard. What would have taken me weeks (or more likely… kept getting put off) was handled in an afternoon. Even better, we didn’t haul it off. We turned it into mulch and put it right back into the garden.
Is it as polished as store-bought mulch? No. Does it work? Absolutely. Now that same pile is feeding the soil, protecting moisture, and closing the loop in the most practical way. And maybe my favorite part… that whole area is finally clear.
Grateful for good people, hard work, and a garden that keeps teaching me to use what I have.
