2-3 regular size sheets or about 4 mini sheets.. Add regular uncooked bacon.

You’ve got to have something though!Even if it is just a little something.. Around here, all the corner famer’s markets sell the same package: 1 bale of straw, one corn stalk bundle, and one pumpkin for $10.

It’s a pretty great deal for someone like me who thinks this stuff is worth it’s weight in gold..I even sprung for the giant $6 pot of mums instead of just the little $3 ones.I feel like the front of our house starts looking pretty abandoned sometimes without a little cheeriness, especially since it never gets used..

I guess the over-grown bushes don’t help either, but I kind of like them over-grown!Especially in the Summer when they’re all covered in pink.

I guess that’s done now, so I have no excuse!.

Oh, and an update, just in the name of being honest: The straw bale actually isn’t there any more.-Fill up your sprayer.. -Pump the top a few times to pressurize it.

-Spray a large section of your deck (like 3 or 4 whole boards at a time!).-Give that section a really quick rub down with a rag, just to even things out a bit.

You won’t believe how fast you can move with this thing!.We used a. deck wash. and then a. waterproofing deck stain.
