Rewilding My Lot

When I first set up the cardboard & mulch pathways, the first covering of mulch was about two inches deep. That was enough to get started, but I knew that there would need to be more, not only to make the pathways thicker, but also on an ongoing basis to make up for compaction and decay.

So I will keep some mulch transport bags in my car and any time I am near the pick-up facility when it’s open and I’m in clothes that can get a little dirty, I’ll grab more.

Here’s a place where I added more mulch today along the patio, and the path in the foreground has not been augmented yet. This will be an ongoing task until things get busy in spring.
