Not just anyone can be a farmer. Nope. We found two more tubs, for a total of five, to haul wood chips. It took about an hour to go to the city landscape waste, load five buckets up, drive back to Piper, position newspapers, and spread the chips. Although it’s only about 80 degrees, the humidity seems to be right about 100%. We were going to make another trip (we meaning my farm hand who works only for food), but it was starting not to be fun. The landscape waste facility is only open Thurs through Sunday, so we will have to wait four more days to continue the grand scheme.
