Why the yard workers just spent all day burying the bases of trees
and their roots in a foot of mulch (which I now have to dig off of
them)?

And while you are at it, could someone tell me why they had to
blow out the pine needles (which I always say I want left alone)
and put mulch under the pine trees instead?

These are mostly rhetorical questions. I just need to vent among
people who do know that trees do not want to have their roots
buried, nor do they want mulch going a foot up their trunks....

Fancy meeting you here. Are you stalking me? Ahem... "Sir Gardener,
why do you...?" ;-)

I think I preceded you. I just don't post much here!
