strawberry mulch I

mulching started about seven this morning with the dismantling of the critter net and its support system...took all the screws out of the frame of the bed as well so they would not rip the fabric cover...then i spread out the fabric, cut it, and set it on the bed to make sure of the fit...it wasn't tremendously windy in the garden since it is sheltered by a number of buildings that blocked the prevailing wind but i took the precaution of stuffing the bale of straw into a forty-two gallon garbage bag before cutting the baling twine...there would be enough straw on the ground without the wind whipping it around...
