? on installing mulch on a steep slope

have property with a steep bank around a pool. In past years we just pushed the half filled barrows up and dumped but its a tiring job. I think I read here somewhere about putting the mulch on a tarp and then dragging it up the slope?

If you've done this, how does it work compared to the 'barrow method? thanks

 

gar.....the wheelbarrow has wheels, the tarp doesn't....

 

Can you use a pull behind dump trailer?
Fill it up then pull it uphill with the mower
and dump it?

 

ok, i got it! have the mulch flown in by helicopter

 

First of all, double the price. Then maybe wheelbarrels if you can, if not maybe garbage cans filled with mulch.

 

Garbage cans should work depending on how the steep the slope is, but the garbage can will be heavier (than the w/barrow) to pull up the slope and doesn't have wheels.

Have a bark truck come in and blow the bark up the slope.

 

rent a bark blower

 

go to lesco and buy the die problem solved

 

I'm going to try the tarp approach. Somebody mentioned a couple years ago here that it works better than the barrows on inclines

 

Let us know how it works for you.
I think the dead weight of the mulch on the tarp will be too heavy and make it a real PITA to move it.
