Keeping a small acreage looking good is challenging. To make mowing the lawn a little easier, I like to cut circles around the trees and fill them with bark mulch. Mowing around the circles keeps me from being swept off the mower by low branches. With 22 trees on the property, it is a good-sized project each spring to recut the circles and freshen up the mulch. Today’s task was the 9 fruit trees at the back of the property.
