Recently I finished cleaning out our big brick planters – pruning roses, cutting back bushes, weeding, etc. Today I am finally mulching all the big flower planters.
This is my WORX leaf mulcher. It’s a good system and I made 6 large leaf bags of leaf mulch. I started to actually use it, and decided that it needs to be run through again to make it finer. The mulch I’m making isn’t perfect, but at $3.00 for a small bag at the store, I’m very happy with what I’m making.
I’ve mulched 7 planters so far. I’m taking a water and rest break before starting in again. I’ve used 4 of the 6 large leaf bags. I have 6 planters left to mulch, so I’ll probably need to make more to get the job finished. We’ll see.
I was putting one leaf bag’s worth of leaves through again and suddenly nothing was happening. I managed to take the WORX apart, seeing that the mulching cord was used up. I went to get the expert (my husband) to help me. We found the extra cord we bought and he easily put new cord in. Since I watched him carefully, I’ll be able to do it next time. :0)
The leaf mulching set up we have now is almost perfect – except it makes me sneeze. I have to admit that about the 50th time I sneezed today, I added some bad words…
I can’t believe the wonderful weather we’re having! It’s a bit chilly if one is just walking around or sitting quietly, but it’s PERFECT if you’re doing something active in the yard. I’m trying to use these rare, glorious days to good advantage. I hope you’re enjoying your Sunday.
