when I do the late summer/early fall mulching of my trees using homemade compost. I thought I'd do it before the early rains (if they come), so the bulk of my time is used turning the piles and screening for the finished compost.

This year it was notable the things I found in the compost pile that generally do not get there:

- 60 gallons of compost

- Wood/bark chips for mulching

- plastic nursery plant tags

- a sprouted and rooted palm seedling, Ch. radicalis, I think; from the seed shape

- plastic coated wire

- bottle tops

- nails for an air powered nail gun

- mesh from a former sodded lawn, not mine

- labels from fruit

- rocks/gravel, and lots of it

- uncomposted material from the areas that got insufficient water through the year

- and a quarter!

The trees are mulched, my back is tired, but another garden task completed!

Reads like a semi-bucket list from BS's abode. 'Cept with his you'd probably find Jimmy Hoffa, Judge Crater, and a nuclear submarine.

It sounds like you need to sit under a palm tree and have a beer.

Cheers Steve

It is not dead, it is just senescence.
