The tree guys did haul away a load of stump shreddings before my wife reminded them that they didn't have to, but still got about a 5 yard pile that should work REALLY nice in the highest traffic/muckiest part of my run. My 7 year old is loading the wheel barrow every day so I can go dump it...

My thinking with the coffee grinds was for smell reduction, but I see what you guys are saying about it adding nitrogen to an already nitrogen-rich mix. I'd have asked to keep some of the tree chippings, but there's not a good way to get a truck back near my run, and the idea of THAT many...

My son's cub scout pack did a clean-up at a historic cemetery that's on the Memorial Day parade route yesterday. I got a couple of hours of exercise out of it...and a truck full of leaves and grass clippings. This should help keep the muck in the run down (and provide a few green treats for...
