My mulch pile came with a machete
As I reached the bottom of the mulch pile I had dropped off by some local tree trimmers I was in for a suprise.
Sticking out of the wood chips was a garden tool.. a blade used for chopping vegetation.
I was in shock that I found it. But makes sense as tree trimmers probably used it to chop off little branches of trees.
When I see the tree trimmers again I'll give it back to them, it was probably at the front of the pile after their days work.
Besides being a little dirty it's in okay shape. A little dull and looks like someone has sharpened before. It was pretty warm as well being under the mulch pile.
Quite the suprise at the bottom of the mulch pile. Was not expecting to find a machete, but when you think about it. It's something that may get lost in a pile of wood chips.
Still got some areas I want to fill in so I should request another pile. And give the tree trimmers their machete back.

What a cool find! I've gotten free mulch from the tree trimmers a few times, but never with tools hidden in it. I did find a sword in my bathtub one time, but my son had left it there. I don't think it counts.
@goat-girlz hah yeah I was quite suprised.. I've found duct tape in my pile but that's about the only other foreign objects found in the piles. Hah well.. probably not the best place to store a sword, but who am I to judge.

Definitely not the best place to store a sword, but teenagers are famous for their dubious decisions. I was afraid to ask what he had been slicing that required him to wash it. Sometimes it's better not to know.
@goat-girlz haha.. quite the experience none the less.

Great find. One of the most useful things to have around the garden. They need not be too sharp as the momentum does most of the cutting.
@ammonite they sure are great.. it's like the hatchet of knives. Small but quite effective. I plan on giving it back to the tree trimmers though so I wont be putting it to use.

I bet this was a very weird find and I bet your face was those funny ones when you have no clue of what you just saw but after a few seconds or minutes you will be already back to the previous mood. What are you using the mulch for? Thanks for sharing the story it would be fun to see the reaction of the machete owner if you happen to hand it in to him. Anyways have a great day!
@raserrano hah yeah I did have a funny look on my face. I use the mulch to cover tree roots and to stop erosion when it rains. Mulch is also good for weed control and is a good fertilizer for the ground.
