Can you make mulch from the plant material at you place?

Hubby doesn't want a chipper for some reason. He did order me a chain saw though. We must have 5 of them by now. Mine will be electric!

Be careful you don't get mulch that is from diseased trees.

The oldest is 19 and in college. .. but he still lives at home.

he has a part time job and attends as many church services as he can (he plans to be a priest) but still does a great deal of work around the place. Big and strong boy.

That's awesome!! Sounds like he is a good kid!

Alaskan, He's s keeper for sure. Maybe he could spend summer here learning about grass and flowers and stuff that don't grow in Alaska. Plus cleaning gutters etc.

Very good point!

Composting if hot enough will kill a lot of pathogens

If he ever has a reason to run through Chicago I will make sure he stops by.

that age is 7.

7 year olds are old enough to be responsible and work hard.

But that's so far away!

cute age , but I am glad to be done with it.
