Mulching & Recycling... the easy way!
I love the look of fresh mulch. So crisp and clean. In fact, I do all my own mulching. The workout is great and I am very particular on how it gets done. Not to mention the fact that I have a tremendous amount of WEEDS!
It would be extremely labor intensive if I had to pay someone to weed all of this before putting down mulch. So, many years back, I read an article about recycling newspaper in the garden. Combine that with mulching, and you have a winning combination.
First, lay down a heavy layer of newspaper (4-5 sheets thick). I use all of the paper, glossy section as well.
Next, don't skip this step, wet the newspaper. This keeps it from blowing away when you dump the mulch on top.
Finally, bring on the mulch!
Admire, and then on to the next part of the garden.

Pool Shopping
I am thinking of getting a pool for our yard. It seems to be an overwhelming task with unlimited options and a BIG price tag! I have turned to Architectural Digest for some inspiration
This will not be an easy decision.....I wonder what Martha would do?
Well, thanks to Limestone & Boxwoods, this is what Martha did! I agree, this is the perfect pool.
