Do you know how much a wheel barrow of rain soaked mulch weighs?
No? Well I do, way too much! Three of my Heritage Community Gardeners spent 20 hours over two days this week spreading stinky, water logged, shredded bark over bare beds to cut down on weed growth and it wasn't a pleasant task.
Shoes were soaked, socks were soaked, T-shirts were soaked and pants were soaked to the knees. Mostly from water and a few from sweat in 35C temp's.
It was exhausting but gardeners are a stubborn breed and we don't quit until the job is done, especially when there's a Hard Chard chilling in the Pond. ;)
