Mulch has arrived

This season, we are using a dyed brown mulch from St. Louis Composting on all of our ornamental beds on the property.  Becky Edwards, our horticulturist began the pain staking shoveling yesterday and a couple of other staff members assisted her today in front of the clubhouse.  We will be spreading about 80 yards of mulch hopefully only once this season.  The mulch is important to help retain moisture and keep the root systems insulated from extremes in temperatures.
Becky hates her picture being taken but oh well!  One scoop at a time is a lot of spreading.
