Free mulch dropped on a dime

Free mulch delivered on a dime


Who says nothing is free? Duke Energy contracted with an independent contractor to trim neighborhood trees away from power lines, leading to a good opportunity for many who do their own yard work.



I found a notice in my front door, saying that I could ask for the chips after the tree trimming.


I asked the crew to kindly dump me a load of chips.  A few days later, someone had marked a line across my lawn, leading to my water meter.


Later, a crew came and asked me where I wanted them to dump my mulch.  I showed them the spot, and they dropped the mulch on a dime.


Now all I need is a few hearty volunteers to come spread it for me.  I know I cannot ask for everything.  But does pretty please entice you?
