Showing Our Dedication To A Noble Cause

Wine Cork Mulch

Cindy decided to use our extensive collection of old wine corks as mulch under the three citrus plants in the pots in the driveway.  They make a good mulch because they keep the moisture in but don't absorb the water that the plant underneath needs, they don't degrade, and they don't pick up the dirt from the pot.

Also, they can easily be moved aside when it's time to add more fertilizer or to repot the plant.  And, of course, it's a great way to recycle the corks.

The problem was that we had enough wine corks for the three citrus pots, but not enough for the three blueberry bushes, too.

So, clearly, we need to buckle down and accumulate more wine corks.  A lot more wine corks.

It's a mission we'll be glad to accept.



* By "noble cause" I meant recycling the corks, of course.
