A couple of nights ago whilst driving home on the open road I found 2 bales
of hay. I managed to get them in the car & figured I had saved myself $20,
$10 a bale is about right.

I spread one bale around some trees today as mulch. I reckoned I had done
well until I noticed all the thistle seeds in the mix.

Beware of so-called tree experts who do not understand tree biology.
Storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions keep reminding us
that we are not the boss.
