Free mulch tomorrow at Tobey Park

I swear, this isn't a blog about recycling. However, the city does recycle the 110,000 tons of tree "wastes" it picks up annually and gives it back to Memphis residents as mulch. Because I don't have a yard, I have little to no concept of how expensive mulch is, but after I wrote a brief on this mulch giveaway Saturday, I was told it's kind of a big deal.

Yahoo answers, which is completely unscientific and usually totally inaccurate, says people are spending hundreds of dollars for this stuff. I think a bag at Home Depot is around $4, but I guess you have to buy several bags to accomplish true feats in gardening. I'll have to ask my mom.
