Mulched Up

Got all energetic, loaded up the mulch wagon a couple times, and got most of the garden paths done. Looks pretty good. At first I was all uptight about making the cardboard covereage perfect...that wore off pretty quick. Got 2-6 inches of wood mulch down most places. Should help with weed suppression, flooding, and muddy shoe syndrome (MSS). Over time, it will compost and be usable in the beds. Thought there was something else to say....ummm...smells good...oh yeah: I was worried about laying down some mulch that would make a great slug habitat (as in the Great Slug Attack of the summer of ought 9) but this stuff is (I hope) too well ground for slugs...too fragmented to make good shelter or a good slime trail surface (he said...starting to wonder an' worry).
