Mulch Delivery

We have been spreading mulch on our raised beds.  The purpose of mulch is to assist in water retention, to suppress weeds and increase organic matter in the soil.  Sierra Contracting in Ruidoso Downs has tree and pine needle material shredded to 3/4" or less.  Our loads show much less than 3/4" with only a few pieces of wood in each yard.  We can pick up about 2 yards per trip.  Each trip was taking too much time away from working on the farm, so we had 30 yards delivered on Wednesday.  The guys at Sierra Contracting have been very helpful.  If you want mulch, give them a call first to make sure they have inventory (575-378-1091).  We were told we used up their standing inventory and they were grinding more.
