Oh Scull, that looks so nice and I LOVE your conch shell decoration!

We have made our own mulch but the shredder is not reliable and we wanted to cover the ground as quickly as possible. Now that it has a good covering on it we will be getting the shredder blades sharpened (we inherited the tempramental beast) and hopefully can keep up with adding layers. We have a program here that you put in green waste and after a certain number of loads you can withdraw a finished ( ie cooked) load for a small amount of cash. It used to be free but they were not refunded this year. I am very pleased to say that this stuff is not full of viable weed seed like the County mulch has been in the past.

Look what I saw today - I believe it might be a sealing wax palm (Cyrtostachys renda) Please correct me if I have got it wrong. It truely was a thing of beauty...
