Damn, our city is efficient.  I spread tree clippings and mulch on what will become an expansion of the berry patch.  This is a good 20' from the street and the curbside guys came into my yard and picked this up as as if it had been left out for them to take.  they were probably cussing they idiots who couldn't make a better pile than that and put it right up against those thorny bushes. Funny how the city is always reminding us not to put more in the land fill than we need to yet they come tromping into my yard to steal my mulch to fill the land fill with. Oh well, one has to admire their effort.
