A good day

The enormous leaf pile is gone, the big flower bed is mulched and the side entrance to the garden is again open for business.  Shredding and mulching is pretty boring when it gets right down to it and the physical symptoms include, a knotted back and blistered hands.  However, the immediate sense of achievement is pretty good to see the place tidied up a bit and the long term benefit to the soil is great. 

There are more leaf piles to spread as mulch and large piles of branches to cut, shred and mulch or store for kindling.  This weekend was a good start.
