Buttload-O-Mulch

The guy from American Soil Products showed up at about 10:30 this morning with a veritable buttload-o-mulch.

And not a moment too soon! It's like that movie, "The Blob." The weeds consume everything in their path. They darn near wiped out my coastal daisies. My toyon out back has disappeared under an onslaught of exotic annual grasses. And there are at least three neighborhood cats I haven't seen for a few weeks.

I got four cubic yards of "forest floor" mulch. I had no idea what four cubic yards of mulch looked like when I ordered it, but I figured it sounded like a buttload, and nothing short of a buttload was gonna get the job done!

My friends are coming over tomorrow to help me mulch. Let's hope they're man enough for the buttload!
