[Arid_gardener] bulk bark mulch

[Ed Northam]

MULCH GARDNERS       There is a possible source 
of pine bark on dead, partially burned trees left 
from by the 2002 forest fires in east central 
Arizona;  there have been several requests for 
ideas concerning what to do with debris from 
those fires.  Check with US Forest 
Service.  Maybe a good (profitable) job here for 
some one???               ED NORTHAM
