Job seems bigger than anticipated!
Whew - good feeling to be finished for the day! Started out bright and early 7 a.m. laying down more mulch - did about 20 bags I think. Finished around 3 with an hour break. 20 bags of mulch doesn't cover a huge area unfortunately...but what did I expect?? At least the areas I mulched do look nicer, and I must force myself to think about how much I've accomplished and not how much more remains...

Non Toxic Weed Killer
This morning I googled info about non toxic weed killers - and found a recipe.
It was :
3 qts of white vinegar
and
1qt of liquid dish soap.
I gently swished those together in my pressure sprayer.
Sprayed it on weeds and grass I want to kill. I plan to cover them with 8 layers of newspaper then eucalyptus mulch on top of the newspapers.
I like that it has dish soap - I've been reading how that tends to get rid of pesty bugs in the garden. Little beige moths fly around a lot lately in the yard - hopefully the concoction above will discourage them as well as help get rid of weeds and unwanted grass where mulch now belongs.
