Bark Mulch, The Residue for
Gardening
Spring is the time of year for
adding beauty to your yard, patio,
and flower gardens. Bark mulch is
both an attractive and useful
mulching material. Either hard
wood or pine bark mulch can be
used for this purpose. Mulch is
usually sold at garden centers
discouut stores, and department
stores in 3 cubic foot plastic bags.
Bark mulch products are usually
packaged in 3 different sizes. The
largest and most expensive is the
nugget size. A thin layer of nuggets
can be used for top dressing on
mulched areas. Mini chips are the
next smaller size. These can be
used for potted plants and around
flower beds. Fines are the smallest
and least expensive. When fines are
used, don't skimp! A minimum of 3
- 4 inches of mulch are needed for
best weed control and moisture
retention. The National Bark
Association (NBPA) has es
tablished quality standards. Watch
for the NBPA logo on packaged
bark products.
Firewood Foresight
Warm weather is fast approach
ing and the cold weather will soon
be behind us. We can forget about
firewood for home heating until
next winter, right? Wrong! NOW is
the time to be thinking about
preparing and storing your fire
wood for the 1980 winter season.
The main reason for doing this now
is to allow the wood to dry. When
first cut. green wood may contain

about one ? half wood and one ?
half water. About 6 ? 9 months are
needed for wood to dry to about 20
percent moisture content. Why not
have more heat for your home by
burning dry wood instead of green
wood? Finally, burning dry wood
reduces the amount of creosote
(soot) buildup in your stove, stove
pipe and chimney. Stack the wood
off the ground and cover it.
Unprotected wood exposed to the
elements will soak up water from
rain just as easily as it loses water.
Keeping wood off the ground will
allow better air circulation. Dry
wood won't attract as many insects
as wet wood. Also, dry wood won't
rot or decay. Don't spray firewood
with chemicals to protect it against
being infested with insects or not
fungi. Toxic fumes may be pro
duced when burning chemically -
treated wood.
