She: This shovel seems OK. What else do we need?
He: I don't know. What does Eddie use?
She [gesturing to me while I'm studying the manure fork]: Do we need one of those for mulch?
He: Nah, I've heard that you should never use mulch. Instead you should use compost.
She: Well Eddie uses mulch.
He: Aw, Eddie doesn't know everything.
I wanted to grab him with both hands by the shirt, pull him up sharply, and say "you need both you idiot! And compost isn't the same thing as mulch." But I didn't. I'm drifting effortlessly into crazy old lady status.
The pitchfork died. It was very old. I was very sad. I reluctantly admit that the manure fork is MUCH more handy for compost than the beloved old pitchfork.
