These people how we were doing it with were very passonite in what they did and have a long working time with no breaks. We spread mulch for the majority of the time to the several garden beds and there the mulch would raked out by to of the ladies. A few of us including me, set to work putting in the new plants, to do this you had to take them out of their plastic container. This was alright and was mad better as they provided us lunch.
