Newly-delivered mulch: 20 cubic yards. (Kid for scale, only. She hasn't lifted a finger to help.)

Helpers!

Mulch Mountain shrinks, thanks to amazing friends.

I chipped away at the Mountain beginning the day after it was delivered (Wed. before Easter). On May 1, friends came over to help us really wear it down, and by 3ish, we'd done the whole "top" of the back yard, and begun inching down the sides. What's left is for me and Phil to tackle from now until Garden Walk day, May 22.
