Expand Loudoun's population grew from 86k in 1990 to 427k in 2021, so the area around IAD is certainly far from "rural" anymore. Not sure about UHI, but certainly much more populous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have slightly overdone the order too as this is our 2nd year in the house and my first time mulching myself. It looks like it’ll end up about right (maybe 1 or 2 too much).

Mulching is a beast of a chore I’ve learned. Expand I have a lot of mulched areas too, since grass is largely a fail in the woods here. I pick away at it- starting in December after leaf removal. I just finished a couple weeks ago. I like getting most of it done during our 'cold' season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
