A few months ago I stopped on my way (walking) to the shops to ask a homeowner where they got their gorgeous looking bark mulch only to be told to help myself - they had too much!!<br /><br />If you don't ask, you'll never receive, and your garden will go without...

I've...Nope, not at all. You're just fine.<br /><br />I've taken the neighbor's leaves and grass for the compost bins. And, I had a friend who would call and say, "I've got the grass; do you have the bread?" Sounds like an illegal drug deal, but he had grass clippings from his lawn for my compost bin; I had freshly baked bread for him. We hadn't lost it, we were really talking about grass and bread.Lois Evensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11129343619065721588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3043083310487431217.post-71504579137534340042011-02-24T00:02:30.038+02:002011-02-24T00:02:30.038+02:00They do not understand the unique balance required...They do not understand the unique balance required in the compost and how valuable that green will be to the balance. One day they will understand, for now you will fulfill their every moment of embarassment.
