The wood chips going to good use!

I am loving the way the back yard looks. I am spreading about 17 yards of wood chips all over it. I am finished with lawn. Of course I'll keep it at the front for the neighbours, but the back......gone. I am burying it under very deep mulch. I felt sorry for Allan having to mow around raised beds and fruit trees...but more importantly I have an issue with lawn in general. Water, fertilizer, herbicide {not in ours, but generally speaking}....and for what? If I am going to water something, it needs to be food or a very beautiful flower for the bees and butterflies, not lawn!!



The mulch makes the whole yard look like a garden. Any area can easily be cultivated once the mulch breaks down and starts to break up the clay. Garden of Eden style.
