Thank you to all of you for making this possible.

The old Environmental Mills on Highway 290 just east of Old Kimbro Road is under new ownership.  They are offering free mulch for the taking.  There is a sign on the south side of 290 that says "Free Mulch" just before their drive way. Pull in and look to your right there is a big box of mulch.  Load it up and take it home.  They are burning the scrap wood down there and it smells like BBQ all the time at my house.

Eat well,

Denise
