Two cubic yards of anything is a LOT of stuff. The "stuff" today was dumped in the end of my driveway by a dump truck, and it is called "Sweet Peet" and it is not spelled "peat" because it is not. Sweet Peet is a mulch made here on Long Island, apparently, and is a mixture of wood chips and horse manure, mainly. So I spent the afternoon filling my wheelbarrow a whole bunch of times and dumping the stuff in each of the gardens, where Kathy spread it around. The gardens look really terrific with this mulch surrounding the plants. When I was done, I took a look at this plant from directly above and saw this really nice design. The plant is cilantro, and I photographed it in the herb garden where it lives.
Nice Job! 2 cubic yards is a lot to wheelbarrow around. Hope you weren't to tired to go out to dinner!

where can we buy this stuff?
ReplyDeleteWe bought the stuff, in bulk, at the yard where I buy bricks, and sand and cement. "Sweet Peet" is on the web - it turns out that it is made in Connecticut, I think. There is a video on the web that seems to indicate that it is sold by the bag somewhere.
