Putting
down Bark this time of year is a timing thing.
Shredded
hardwood bark can be put down anytime, rain or shine, but the Color Enhanced
Wood needs time to dry after it has been spread over your landscaping.
The color
in your Color Enhanced Wood is a water-based paint that has been sprayed on at
the “Bark Store”. After it falls off conveyer belt it is scooped up and put in
a big pile where only the outer 6 to 8 inches starts to dry. When you get there
with your trailer or pick-up the loader-man digs deep into the pile and fills
you up with a load of wet painted mulch; which you don’t realize until you start
spreading it.
After
rummaging around in your garage for some work gloves, and finding only two left
hands, you go back out the job that’s not going away by itself. As you start spreading, it now dawns on you
why the lady who took your order said it might not be a good day to do this on
account of the rain forecasted today. “This stuff isn’t dry”!
Your
landscaping is the final step for Color Enhanced Wood; it will need a day
without rain to lock the color in. If it rains before that drying can occur a
lot of its color will wash away.
So at
$28.00 to $35.00 a yard it “wood” behoove you to watch the weather channel
before you spread this kind of cash.
