Mulching over part of my backyard -- thoughts?
I'm slowly starting a project, and I'd like to find out if anyone has done something similar or has a better idea before I get too far along.
I've got a fairly large, by city neighborhood standards, backyard and I'd like to reduce the size of my grass lawn for mowing and watering reasons. I would also like to divide, at least visually, my gardening/utility area from the rest of the yard.
The plan I've been considering is to replace the back edge of the lawn -- side to side (60 feet) and 8-14 feet from the back fence -- with a mulched area. It wouldn't necessarily be a bed with plantings, but would be mulched and walkable and would surround my existing raised vegetable garden beds. Is this odd?
I don't have any photos handy, but here are a couple of Sketchup shots of the area and my planned landscaping. I also intend to get rid of most of those small trees (Rose of Sharon bushes, actually. The previous owner must have found a sale.)
My experiences: I use mulch (including wine corks) in all my gardens because it does an excellent job of retaining moisture, preventing erosion and keeping down weeds. Maintaining it is trivial, as a simple border keeps it in place. A couple things you need to remember: 1 - when you water, the mulch will absorb it so that it gives the appearance of well-watered, but it may not have reached the soil underneath, 2 - lay down twice the depth that you think you want. When you want to plant, move the mulch out of the way as it's hard to push a shovel through it.
I got my mulch at the local green waste facility and transported it in large trash cans. Expect a round of mushrooms and the curious 'dog vomit slime' - all are harmless and disappeared after the first year. =^,,^=
yes this is a good project.
you lay out looks good too.
i did this 20 yrs ago in my backyard-- the back 3rd was in heavy shade and was a low spot(think mud for 8 months of the year-- with twin 2 yr old boys)
what i learned:
1.skip landscape fabric. it will only be a headache.
2.spray the grass with weed killer-- round-up is good
3.put down a layer of newspapers over the area--about 5 to 7 sheets of paper thick. this will help supress weeds.
4.put in a good edging material to keep the mulch where you want it to be. bricks, railroad ties, landscaping timbers, rocks the size of basketballs/footballs, a treated
2x8 on edge sunk into a trench and held in place with re-bar. skip the plastic edging products,
- depending on what type of mulch you use you may want stepping stones, place these before the mulch.
- after you spread the mulch water it down and compact it.
- use preen on a regular basis to keep weeds from sprouting in the mulch.
- plan on maintaince about 3 times per year: spring clean-up and redressing, summer touch-up, and a fall clean-up.
9.make sure the layer of mulch is thick enough-- over 4 inches
- choose size cafefully-- shredded barck clings and travels, big nuggets (this size of charcoal briquettes) are tough to walk on, cocoa nibs smell great, but can be over powering in heat and humidity
I used pea gravel-- major problem is that it doesn't pack into a firm surface. makes putting chairs on it a pain-- they sink into the 6" of gravel i have. leaves and dirt wash into the stone and weeds grow-- once or twice a year i mow the area and in the spring i give it a good raking.
i love the sound of the pebbles when you walk on them and i love that they are cool in hot weather. I layed 11 tons of gravel and would do it again-- the boys stopped being mud-buddies soon after the area got mulched. i covered an area 50'x20' and cut my grass cutting by 1/3rd.
Over in my corner of the south this is common practice. Pine needles, because they are so plentiful, are the mulch of choice. It is quite common here to see mulched beds, minimumly planted, curving throughout a property with small areas of lawn in between. If one lays out the negative space of the mulched beds well, it can be very attractive and give 'depth' to small yards.
Very helpful advice, thank you.
I've already done a small area just to see how it looks. I laid down cardboard over the sparse grass (much of this area already doesn't get watered and is shady) and topped it with about 3 inches of composted shredded cedar mulch. I probably will need a little more, but I like the way it looks packed down and weathered a bit.
My other problem is the edging. I don't like any of the metal or plastic products. I have a bunch of cedar fence boards I could use, but I would like to do the curved border. But that's a whole other can of worms.
If you cut a nice deep edge with a straight edge spade and maintain it once or twice a year, you'll have a nicer looking edge than any other.
mulch ****grass
Of course the mulch would be the same height, or preferably higher (if not in the direction of drainage), of the grass. ...And a good healthy lawn holds an edge very nicely. The deep notch keeps the lawn runners to a minimum.
I think I will probably do exactly what you suggest. I already have a curved bed in the front yard that I hit with my electric edger 2 or 3 times per season. I also just got a new edger blade which is supposed to be good for digging a 2-inch trench. That should help me get my outline started.
I am a big fan of mulching. It is easier to maintain than grass, especially in shady areas or in your case where you would have several edges to mow/trim around. It is probably more expensive since you have to refresh the mulch (depends somewhat on your supply of mulch and lawn care practices).
Looking at your mockup I have a few comments...The size of your raised beds seem very small. Is your drawing to scale? There looks to be a lot of wasted space in that area? What size do you plan to make the beds? Also, I am of the camp that thinks that in a situation where the lawn in the dominant feature of the landscape, that the lawn should be given a defined shape. The shape on the left (near the shed) looks natural but then the right side looks a bit odd to me. If you are going to keep the bushes then I would include them in the mulched area (and likely underplant with perennials).
- Brent
The beds aren't huge (they're already built and in use), but I think it's mainly the perspective of the image that makes them look so small. They're 6x3.
I agree about shape -- this is my first step, but I think I eventually want to remove the bushes on the right side, extend the side planting bed back to that area, and curve the mulched area out to meet it.
What TYPE of grass do you have?
Northerners often make fun of edging and advise against it, but you have to have a wide and deep 'trench' around your planting beds and hit it with the weedeater twice a month if you want to keep runner grass out of your bed.
Runner grasses include Bermuda, St. Augustine, and Centipede--if you have Buffalo you're OK. (and Buffalo grass is great for Austin--in the sun.)
I have St. Augustine, which has had me a little puzzled with all the edging ideas I've looked at.
Digging a trench or putting in a buried metal or plastic edge wouldn't seem to do much for St. Augustine unless the edge is raised above the ground. Even then, those runners will eventually jump over the edge.
It's seeming to me what I'm doing in my front bed is just about as good as anything. That is, I've got no edging but I run my spinning-blade edger down the border 3 or 4 times a summer, then come back with a cultivator on the mulch side and pull out any runners that have put down roots.
Welcome to Texas newtxn!
An alternative to mulch that you might prefer in your area would be rainbow rock or something similar. Mulch tends to wash away in the heavy rain and needs to be re-dressed.
Remove the grass (or kill it off and rake out the roots) Put down a thick black plastic with landscape staples first and then cut in your plants and other material, install your wooden or metal borders and then put down your stone.
You will need 5 yards of rainbow rock or similar stone to give yourself 3" coverage. The big rocks are pretty but a bit harder to walk on, the small rocks only need to go down about 2" or else it is a chore to trudge through. The plastic will eventually wear out and then you can treat the weeds with Round-up or similar.
The stone will contrast nicely with the grass and plants.

bought a Winter Sampler from Pyramid because I generally like Pyramid's brews and I needed a few extra bottles for my homebrew batch... TWIST-OFFS! I heard the Sierra Nevade are now twistys as well!
I like Sam Adams bottles the best- nice and heavy- the Mexican ones are the worst- thin and wimpy- I don't do the bomber/22 oz. bottles- I like to know how may beers I actually have and drink rather than doing the math- besides- sharing a six pack of 12 oz. homebrew is nice- Decshutes makes nice bottles- Redhook does not! Since they went to the short bottles it is a pain to have to adjust your capper when a Redhook bottle comes up- I like their beer but have stopped buying it because of the their stupid little bottles... any bottle thoughts?
Years ago Sierra Nevada was twist. They are no longer. I use those for bottling and they work great.
My red baron capper doesn't care how tall the bottle is.
I don't bottle too much anymore, so I am not ever actively seeking out bottles that are good for homebrew anymore. However, almost all the smaller craft beers that I buy that aren't in cans are in good bottles that will take a regular ol' crown cap. When I'm actually collecting bottles, the thing I care about more is that the bottle in question doesn't have any raised lettering or designs on it, so it's OK to use for entering competitions. For that purpose, I like the generic bottles you get from Costco brand craft beers.
You"heard" Sierra Nevada are twist off as well? I think you heard wrong.
BlakeElectric BIAB Build | BIAB Mesh False Bottom | Controller/Fermentation Chest
Sierra Nevada is my "house" beer (when I don't have home brew). They are definitely not twist off.
I cleaned 24 of them in the last few days...I would have noticed.
"You cant be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline it helps if you have some kind of football team, or some nuclear weapons but at the very least you need a beer"
- Frank Zappa
That happened to me with Peak Organic's Winter Session. I was so upset I complained on their Facebook page. I also got annoyed this week because I knew Angry Orchard cider was Sam Adams so I bought a 6 pack to get more bottles and I got those home and they were twist.
damn... gotta go check out my Sierra Nevadas in the garage... my bad- now I have an excuse to buy some more Torpedo!
SN switched away from twist offs in 2007 for QC reasons. I seriously doubt they would ever switch back.

Review: Original vs Competition Kingsford Charcoal (long with lots o' pics)
Review: Original vs Competition Kingsford® Charcoal
Last year Kingsford® changed the formulation of their Original "blue bag"
charcoal, and I posted an in-depth comparison of the two formulations.
That review was very well-received, so now it's time to do a briq-to-briq
comparison of the Original versus their Competition product.
The Competition briquets are a relatively new product that was released in
early 2009. Here's how it's described on their site:
This charcoal combines the performance needed forEssentially, you can think of the Competition product as lump charcoal in
briquet form. You get the high heat of lump with the convenience,
uniformity, and predictability of a briquet.
As in the previous review, I wanted this comparison to be as fair and
impartial as I could make it. I don't have a laboratory, but I am an
engineer, so I did the best that I could in a home setting. I ran
side-by-side tests of two brand new off-the-shelf bags of the each
product. As you will see, I've weighed and photographed each product so
that you can see exactly what I saw.
Let's see how all of this went down.
The pictures above show an Original bag that may be somewhat
misleading. A standard blue bag weighs 16.6 pounds, but what's pictured is
a larger 20-pound bag from a two-pack.
Note: From here on the Original briquets are pictured on the left, and the
Competition on the right.
The appearance of the briquets from each product are all but identical, so
much so that I had to make a concerted effort to keep from getting
confused about which was which.
I weighed various quantities of the Original and the Competition briquets
and here is how they compared:
Original (1 briquet): 3/4 oz
Competition (1 briquet): 5/8 oz
Original (5 briquets): 4 1/4 oz
Competition (5 briquets): 3 1/8 oz
Original (10 briquets): 8 5/8 oz
Competition (10 briquets): 6 1/4 oz
For the burn test, I punched two aluminum pie pans with an identical
pattern of holes. I wanted to use a method that would contain the ash for
a final weight, as you will see later.
I arranged the Original and Competition briquets in each pan as similarly as
I could. I used 12 briquets in each, in layers of six, four, and two (all with
the grooves facing upward). I put a single Weber wax starter cube in each
I lit each cube and took pictures at five-minute intervals. For those
interested, the temperature when I started the burn was 38º and the
humidity was 82%.
At five minutes.
At 10 minutes.
At 15 minutes.
At 20 minutes.
At 25 minutes. I started taking temperature measurements at this point. I
used an infrared thermometer on the side of each pan at the 5 o'clock
position. I would have liked to have had more readings, but the
Competition sample was burning so hot that it exceeded the 600º limit of
my infrared thermometer.
Original: 323º
Competition: 464º
At 30 minutes.
At 35 minutes.
At 60 minutes.
Original: 384º
Competition: 452º
At 90 minutes.
Original: 330º
Competition: 284º
I stopped taking pictures at 90 minutes, but I continued reading the
temperatures out to 180 minutes.
Original (120 minutes): 254º
Competition (120 minutes): 185º
Original (180 minutes): 182º
Competition (180 minutes): 129º
Here is a chart that shows the Original and Competition temperatures over
time. The horizontal axis is time and the vertical shows the temperatures.
Note: As I mentioned earlier, the Competition sample was burning so hot
that it exceeded the 600º limit of my infrared thermometer. Given that, this
graph doesn't really depict all of the true temperature profile.
What about ash? As you can see below, the Competition briquets produce
nearly half the ash by weight, which is a significant difference. However,
as you can also see, the undisturbed volume of ash is the same. I'm not
sure that really matters, but I found it interesting.
Original: 3 oz
Competition: 1 5/8 oz
In the end, the results of this comparison show exactly what I have
experienced firsthand over the past two years. I regularly use both the
blue bag and the Competition, and I appreciate what each offers. For
low-n-slow barbecue, I primarily use the Original for its long consistent
heat. For grilling and higher heat cooks I use the Competition product. It
gives my grilled foold just the right blast of wood fire flavor. At barbecue
competitions I mix them (about 70% blue to 30% Competition) to give me
the best of both worlds.
Here are some questions that I posed to the folks at Kingsford, and their
Me: It's been two years since the Competition briquets were introduced.
How have they fared commercially?
Kingsford: When we initially launched Kingsford Competition Briquets, we
couldn't keep bags on the shelves! The briquets continue to sell well,
especially at places such as Costco, which we attribute to the unique
combination of high heat associated with lump charcoal and the consistent
burn associated with briquets that allow backyard grillers to barbecue like
the experts.
Me: Is it fair to say that the composition of the Competition briquets is
pure charwood with a natural binder?
Kingsford: Yes, Competition briquets are 100% natural. They are made up
of wood char with just enough natural binder to hold it together.
Me: Does the Competition product use the same charwood as the blue bag
product? If not, how is it different?
Kingsford: Yes, our Competition briquets use the same wood char that we
use in Kingsford Original.
Me: How do the burning and temperature characteristics of the
Competition product differ from that of the blue bag product?
Kingsford: Competition briquets burn hotter than Kingsford Original
briquets. They also reach cooking temperature faster than Kingsford
Me: Does the Competition product produce less ash than the blue bag
Kingsford: Yes.
Me: I noticed that the Charwood product has been discontinued. Will the
Competition product remain widely available for the foreseeable future?
Kingsford: Currently there are no plans to discontinue Kingsford
Competition Briquets. That said, our research and development team is
constantly thinking about how to improve our product line up, so we
cannot rule out a line change completely, but we don't have any immediate
plans to do so.
Me: Are there any plans to offer a line of smokewood-impregnated
Competition products like you have with the mesquite and hickory lines?
Kingsford: That's a great idea! At the moment, we don't have a product
like that in development but we are always thinking about ways to improve
upon our product. Keep the feedback and ideas coming! We'd love to hear
ideas on our Facebook page.
I hope that you've found this to be informational and helpful.
dang, thats ALOT of info. thanks for taking the time to post this and share your knowledge and expertise.
Well done, John. Another great review!
i wonder what there charwood consists of? they use it for both the comp and blue bag. Is it real hardwoods?
Thanks, guys. These long-form reviews are fun, but a lot of work.
I'm glad that you find them helpful.
U.S., and I believe they source it as locally as they can.
I tried using the original Kingsford Charwood product a few years ago. I started a chimney full of the stuff and it was like the 4th of July! Sparks flew everywhere! Once lit, I poured it into the firebox of our old backyard offset and it was like having a firebox full of Rice Krispies. Lots of Snap, Krackle and Pop!
John, regarding the ash: I understand that the weight of the ash was different but the volume was the same. I have only used Comp K once and I had a real problem with what I called "ash blow" meaning that there was ash all over the food. Now someone I told about this thought it might have been caused by the Stoker I use having blown the ash around but it has never happened when using Blue K and a Stoker. Also, another person I know had the same "ash blow" thing happen to him with Comp K, also in an 18.5 WSM but without a Stoker attached to the cooker.
Do you think that the similar volume of ash might indicate that the Comp K ash is, for lack of a better word, fluffier than the Blue K ash and therefore more prone to becoming airborne within a cooker?
Great review!!! Thanks a lot John for your hard work.
notice anything "fluffier" about the ash, but then again I wasn't
really paying attention to that aspect. However, as you say, for the
volume to be the same but the weight half, that says to me that it
must be "fluffier".
I only use it in undisturbed (non-blown) cookers, so maybe that's
why I've never seen the blowing that you have.
I'll run it by the Kingsford folks when I see them in Vegas.
interesting though about rancher and you wsm. I guess i should stop using the hair dryer to heat up the coals. maybe that will stop the ash from blowing around. haha
Also, I bought a huge supply of Blue K last year over the Memorial Day weekend when Home Depot had the 20 lb. twin paks on sale for about half price. If I recall correctly, I bought about 70 bags (35 twin paks) at that time and we used the last of it at the New Years Eve/New Years Day contests in California.
Thanks a ton for the review. I love the scientific approach. Very helpful for us new guys. I really love regular K but just got a stickburner. Using K to start a bed of coals before going to cherry splits for the remainder. I think I'll give he K comp a try. By the way, the turkey you gave me some input on turned out awesome. Thanks for the help.

The studio suits want a crowd-pleasing screwball comedy, but director John Sullivan (Joel McCrea) wants his next film to make a serious social statement.
The genius of this classic opening scene is that Sullivan's Travels, writer-director Preston Sturges' one-of-a-kind film, is both screwball comedy and socially conscious melodrama — as well as being a satire of socially conscious melodrama, and a serious apologetic for crowd-pleasing comedy. (In keeping with the suits' insistence that the picture should have a little sex appeal, Veronica Lake later shows up as an aspiring starlet.)
Sullivan wants to address the problem of human suffering, but his producers argue, rightly so, that he doesn't know enough about suffering to make a movie about it. But their attempts to dissuade him backfire when he decides to go on the road with ten cents in his pocket in an effort to experience poverty first-hand.
The moral dangers of this familiar riches-to-rags quest, however, are memorably highlighted by Sullivan's own butler: "If you'll permit me to say so, sir, the subject [of poverty] is not an interesting one. The poor know all about poverty, and only the morbid rich would find the topic glamorous." When Sullivan protests that he's "doing it for the poor," the butler answers: "I doubt if they would appreciate it, sir. They rather resent the invasion of their privacy, I believe quite properly, sir."
The movie dignifies the poor, but doesn't idealize them or their condition, and ultimately pulls the rug out from under Sullivan's pretensions when things take a serious turn for the worse. And, as Sturges believed in movies leaving "the preaching to the preachers," as he once put it, when he wants to preach himself, he has a preacher do it, in a respectful sequence set in a black Baptist church.
Possibly the screwiest of all screwball comedies, My Man Godfrey is the ultimate Depression-era satire of the idle rich and tribute to the noble poor.
This theme of romantically linking an upper-class society girl and a man beneath her station would become a popular device in screwball comedies, appealing to Depression audiences both as escapist entertainment and as satire of the idle rich and celebration of the hardworking poor.

anyone have an issue with the port plugging / not flowing very much? The first batch I did with this new bottle it worked fantastic. I pitched on top of the yeast cake, so this is now the 2nd batch in this same bottle without a cleaning in between.
I hooked up the hose, pulled the valve open and it started flowing, but I did get some yeast. It slowed down after awhile and ran VERY slow the entire racking. I had to lift the whole bottle up higher as the beer got lower and tilt it to get it to finish. I bet it took 15 minutes to finish moving all the beer.
The yeast cake was pretty well set in the bottom, so I wonder if it was plugging up the outlet. Maybe I need to tilt the whole thing in the opposite direction for awhile to let it slide out of the way? Or maybe, just not rack another beer into these containers?
Hey, careful, man, there's a beverage here! - The Dude
I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to
have fun." Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and
sticks when they've invented the lighter?
Are you turning the spout inside up? I usually ferment with it down and then turn it up to transfer. I've had them plug before and I was able to blow into the top (I use a hose with an air filter on it) and that made enough pressure to push the muck through.
It should have come with a white plastic "tab" that goes on the outside that you line up with the pickup on the inside. Then when it's full you can spin that tab up which should move the pickup even though you may not be able to see it.
ah-haaaaa..... i bought mine already assembled and that tab is on the inside......
I was just trying to crank it by hand.
looks like I'll be taking it apart to correct that. Thanks for the info!

hummers gone?
haven't seen any hummingbirds now in about 2 weeks.should i pack up the feeder for the winter? tia for any info.
Bob Sargent--federally licensed hummingbird expert in Clay Alabama recommends that we leave at least one hummingbird feeder out all winter long. Remember to change the syrup frequently though--you may get a bird staying over for the season and/or a rarity who has strayed or been blown off the usual migratory course. For more information on this check with Bob's website at email@example.com can supply all kinds of info regarding birds (hummers are his specialty) plus pictures. If you are lucky enough to have an overwintering bird--call Bob and he will come and tag it for the birding research studies.
Is anyone growing Malvaviscus arboreus, sleeping hibiscus or Turk's turban? This was my first summer season to grow it. When the hummers came through a few weeks ago, they loved this plant. I'm definitely spreading it throughout the garden area. On hummer loved it so much that he did some serious feeding 6 feet from me while I watered one afternoon. has anyone else had s similar experience. Cut and paste the URL below to get info on
Note: they love hot dry climates, and their roots are tough. It takes an atomic bomb to remove one completely once established. That is good for a natural fence. I love them. We used to pick the flowers and sip the nectar. I taught my granddaughter to do the same.

Help with health care costs coming to county
The Association of Minnesota Counties (AMC) is reviewing countywide health discount programs that will save residents money on health care costs.
Douglas County Commissioner Paul C. Anderson said two discount cards are being compared. Currently, NACo/Caremark, through CVS Pharmacy, is being used in Douglas County, which relies heavily on mail order prescription filling. The new options offer savings averaging 20 percent more than Caremark's plan.

1 quart per pound of grains for mashing...
1 gallon of 165' F to sparge?
Well the mash + sparge will be added to my boil kettle for a full 6 gallon boil
907_Fellow -
How did this turn out for you? I'm doing the exact same thing and am glad I found your post. My first full boil was an IPA. I'm using a 7.5 gallon kettle and a propane burner (standard Turkey Fryer). I figured out that I need to start with 6.25 gallons and after a 60 minute boil I'm left with 5 gallons. I steeped my specialty grains at 160 for 30 minutes in the full 6.25 gallons of water. I noticed when I went to bottle it, that it had an oily appearance.
After reading your post from BYO magazine I'm guessing that these were tannins, and that I should have steeped them in 3 quarts per pound of grain, THEN added that to my brew kettle, and then added water to top it off to 6.25 gallons before starting the full boil. I had never read or heard about this before. I also bounced the grain bag up and down constantly for 30 minutes while steeping at 160, so maybe I shouldn't do that either. Maybe that also extracts too many tannins and I should just leave it alone?
If you see this, let me know how it went for you if you don't mind! After 5 batches I'm getting frustrated with extract and am considering going All Grain on my next batch. But I'd really like to make a few good extract batches and know how to do it before making the move. I just haven't been happy with any of them so far.

Pip-Boy 3000 Live Wallpaper
UPDATE: Added new options menu to set speed of background and foreground scanlines, added the following color schemes: Green, Amber, Blue, and Red. You are able to enable/disable the foreground scanline, and enable/disable animation of the background scanlines. Added the often requested RobCo frames, which include an editable message (Defaults to "RobCo PipBoy 3000", can be disabled by simply setting the custom text to nothing in settings.) and an optional clock that shows the current time on the right side of the frame. The frame's top and left padding can be adjusted so you can move the frames below any widgets (On ICS and above there is a permanent Google widget at the top of the screen, this can be avoided by setting your top padding.), and change how far away from the edges of the screen the frames should be. You can also change the width of the scanlines in the background. Lower widths look great on high resolution displays. For most medium to high resolution phones I recommend a setting of 3px, but feel free to experiment!
COMING SOON: I'll be adding the option to enable RobCo labels around the edges of the wallpaper, as some of you have requested. I apologize for the huge delay in updates, but I'm back to regular Android development and am excited to give you guys the features you've been asking for, as well as some new apps and wallpapers. Thanks for your support!
3.14.2013 - Fixed typecasting error that caused app to crash when selecting "7.5ms" as the Foreground Scanline Speed.
A live wallpaper for your Android phone that mimics the Pip-Boy 3000's interface from Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. If you're a Fallout fan you'll love this wallpaper which recreates the animated scanline, color scheme and overall look and feel of the Pip-Boy 3000. The app features options to disable the prominent scanline animation, as well as enable moving the smaller scanlines in the background. As a result the wallpaper has a total of 4 different modes for different people with different tastes.
Tested on low and high DPI devices, slow and fast, and looks great on all devices.
Fallout, Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, and Pip-Boy (3000) are all registered trademarks of Zenimax/Bethesda Softworks.
This app is UNOFFICIAL, it is made by a Fallout fan, for Fallout fans. Bethesda Softworks and Zenimax are in no way affiliated with the production of this application.
