Winter Horticulture

Hi

Making mulch this week

There isn’t much to do in the winter with plants so we move on to other preparations for spring...like making mulch.
Picture
The first mulch particles fall off the conveyor onto the ground
Picture
It’s not long before a steaming pile forms under the conveyor.
Picture
A couple-a hours later, a decent pile grows.
Picture
The next morning, the mound steams in the cold early morning air.
Picture
The pile steams from bacterial action as microbes eat the carbon in the wood. Nature’s recycling byproducts easily seen. It reminded me of what California looked like last summer when the forests burned from global warming heat, droughts, and hurricane-force winds.
Picture
The sun chased the frost down into the mulch valleys.
Picture
The nursery dog seems to have conquered the world.
Picture
By the end of the day, we had produced enough mulch to get us through the year, and now we are on to the next project.
