While researching Mulch To Be Desired for the Spring 2012 issue of GardenMaking magazine, I visited the mulch-making site of Gro-Bark in Caledon, just north of Toronto. Sales rep Kerri Stevenson and technical sales rep Chelsea Stroud showed me around, pointing out how the mulch is dyed, the differences between the various mulches and generally filling me in on the making of mulch. I had an up-close look at my favourite mulch, too – composted pine bark. The crisp fall day was full of the earthy pine scent. It was bliss! Thanks Kerry and Chelsea!

On the way back from Gro-Bark, I passed this mountain of mulch mounded up over the roots of this spruce hedge. Hmm, not my favourite colour and those evergreen roots will soon be smothered to death!
