FYI,

If you use mulch around your house be very careful about buying mulch
this year. Hurricane Rita blew over many trees in New Orleans. These
trees were then turned into mulch. Louisiana is trying to get rid of
tons and tons of this mulch to any state or company who will come and
haul it away. It will probably start showing up in Home Depot and Lowe's
at cheap prices. There's just one huge problem - Formosan Termites will
be the bonus in many of those bags. New Orleans is one of the few areas
in the country were the Formosan Termites has gotten a strong hold and
most of the trees blown down were already badly infested with those
termites. These termites can eat a house in no time at all and we have
no good control against them. Please tell all of your friends that own
homes to avoid using mulch that doesn't state where it came from and or
especially if it came from New Orleans.
