Bring In Reinforcements for a HUGE Project

Something I really appreciate about Becky is she isn't afraid to ask for help or take us along with her when she makes a mistakes.

Becky hearing your dad say “I want you guys to know that I love you” brought happy tears to my eyes. I lost my mother 7 years ago on October. 16th and every conversation she had with my brother, myself, or her grandchildren would always end with “I love you.” Those words are such a gift and something that your nieces and nephews will always carry with them. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Keep up the good work. 💛

It's been a long time ago and I can't remember how long it lasted but I have darkened up my mulch before by using a pump sprayer and instant coffee.

As for me I like the lighter colors since I'm older but I do remember when I wanted dark but didn't want to spend unless I had a need and not just a preference. 😉👍

When the chips start breaking down they will bind up nutrients in the soil, so make sure to fertilize with slow release fertilizer and fertilize frequently. It probably won't affect the big trees, but if you see yellowing leaves in the shrubs and bulbs you will know that they need some nutrients. It looks amazing!

[@susandorry6149]

Thank you, I was wondering about using them, I have an acre also but have been limiting the work and thought about using chips for the long term.

It’s actually not an issue as long as you use them for mulch on top. If wood chips are mixed into the soil it can cause problems.

Just remember Becky that 'wet' or 'hot wood chips, not aged well, as they break down, they're going to use a lot of nitrogen from the soil. Keep your surroundings plants well fertilized as necessary.

We live on 3 acres. My front yard is about as big as a football field. We redid our front yard about 20 yrs ago. I was much younger and moved better 😁 We put 3 islands in because I had 3 dogwoods. But we only put greenery in, nothing that continues to produce flowers or bulbs that you have to dig up and separate or get overgrown. We put only nandinias, boxwoods, small cedars, burning Bush, etc. things that we trim down once a year. We also bought huge boulders to put in the islands. I love flowers but I am so glade we only did greenery type things. I get to enjoy my flowers on my back deck. You are one little worker bee 🐝 ❤️
