An Update on our Mulch Pathway

There used to be mud here, but not anymore!

The man upon whose gardening techniques the "Back to Eden" film is based, Paul, talks about the properties of tree limb mulch in great detail.  One that caught my ear is that when there is too much water, it spreads it out and eliminates mud.  The pathway that leads from our back deck toward the barn has long been a muddy mess, staying muddy long after a rain, so we decided to cover it with tree-limb mulch and see how it performed.

It POURED rain here last night.  There was enough rain to drown fish, so it was a perfect test of the mulch and I couldn't wait to get a look at it this morning.

I certainly wasn't disappointed - it worked just as we'd hoped that it would.

I walked to and fro (I love saying "to and fro"), and though there was standing water all over the yard, there was none squishing beneath my shoes - absolutely none.  You'd have to really know how much rain we got to fully appreciate that, I reckon, but color me impressed.

Here is the link to a video I just uploaded:  Mulch Pathway Update.

Thanks for reading!
