squirrel mulch

no, not mulch made FROM squirrels, but mulch made BY them!

The Pine Squirrels make awesome mulch. If you have pine trees and see a pile underneath, it is most likely the pine cone remnants dropped by those industrious critters. I have been busy harvesting this stuff for my own flower beds. It looks awesome and it's FREE!

They do generate an incredible amount of "mulch". We have several trees on our land around which the squirrel "mulch" covers the ground several inches deep. Never thought of using it for mulch. Great idea. This stuff is even more uniform than chipper cuttings.

Does the squirrel mulch have defoliant in it like the pine needles do?
It does look really nice.

Imagine my disappointment when I found out this wasn't a new trail snack, like crunchy squirrel jerky.

The silent majority will be silent no more.

I discovered one industrious squirrel tossing pine cones down from this huge tree out front tonight. . .
