Monkey Hair

The yardman came by the other day with a small truckload of mulch that he positioned around trees, shrubs and roses in my son’s back yard.

He called it “monkey hair,” but its real name is redwood mulch, created from trees found in California’s redwood forests.

The mulch is supposed to be extremely wind resistant and once it’s there, it stays put, holding its color longer than other mulches.

Monkey hair … how appropriate for a guy like me.
