The guy I used to buy coal from in Middletown used to have two monsters out in front of his place. He would take one to the Durham Fair and people would try to guess it's weight, within 10 # and you would win a ton of coal. He never did pay out IIRC. One was in the 3200# range, he told me when he retired. That is a BIG chunk of coal!

Yup, that is why I put that up there, they are a good place to deal with and they have good pricing too.
Have you used this Mulchdye?eelhc wrote:http://www.mulchdye.com/
Just rake up the old mulch and other lawn waste and even out and dye it. Should give it longer life.

Cautionary note: Sulfur in the coal may etch orange coloring on concrete and nearby rock when exposed to rain and moisture over time. I'm considering the same idea as I need to slope a drainage area away from the foundation and it also will allow backup storage of nut coal if the market gets tight.
