Now that the weather is getting warmer, many people are going to be starting to have fires in their backyards. It’s a fun and easy social thing that everyone enjoys. Unfortunately, those of you who have frequent fires know that the wood burns down fast, and eventually those $5-$8 bags of wood begin to add up to a lot more than you were expecting. This is why you should consider buying bulk firewood.
- Ask your firewood supplier about a deal – This can be a difficult thing for some people to do. Do you want a good deal and plan on buying a decent amount of wood from one supplier? Ask them if they will give you a deal for large quantity firewood purchases.
- Semi-loads – If you have the room, buying bulk firewood by the semi load can save a lot of money. The wood typically comes in 8 foot lengths often referred to as a “pulp cord” or “loggers cord.” The downside to this method is the fact that you have to cut it up yourself. If you have the equipment and don’t mind the extra work, buying bulk firewood by the semi load is a great option.
- Having It Delivered – This is the easiest way but it’s also one of the most expensive. Some suppliers will advertise bulk rates while others may not. Chances are if you ask you might just find a good deal.

Summer mulch can make any garden look nice and, now that summer is finally here, your gardens have had a chance to warm up and dry out a bit. Now you can add a layer of summer mulch. Summer mulch is best because too early in spring can promote the spread of mildew and fungus. Summer mulch cuts down on weeds, helps keep soil temperatures from fluctuating and slows the loss of moisture to evaporation
To properly mulch, spread a 2- to 3-inch layer of wood chips, shredded bark or cocoa bean hulls over the soil around shrubs, trees and perennial plants. If your layer of mulch is not thick enough, then it will not be as effective at keeping weeds from growing as it could be. In produce beds, you can mulch with chipped leaves, dried grass clippings, hay, partially completed compost or shredded newspaper, which can be turned into the soil at the end of the season. If you don’t care so much about how your gardens look, you can lay cardboard or even strips of old carpeting between the rows of vegetables. One thing to be careful of is Cocoa bean mulch. It looks and smells good, but can develop mold in wet areas. It’s also a concern for dog owners because it can contain theobormine, which can be toxic to dogs.
