I&#8217;d like to share with you what happened to some of those pellets.<\/p>\n<p>I had a small wildflower garden at the edge of my walkway which was overrun with some very invasive &amp; nasty weeds. I decided to put a raised bed in place there and try to rescue some summer blooming with Heart-Leafed Asters which were being run out by the weeds.<\/p>\n<p>I thought I only had 6 bedraggled specimens left. Well, I rescued 48 struggling seedlings as I dug the mess up.I put in a 4&#8217;x8&#8242; two-level raised bed, lots of landscaper&#8217;s cloth and a good layer of those composted pellets. I mixed it all up and transplanted all 48 seedlings into their spots in the raised beds.<\/p>\n<p>All 48 Asters survived, grew to about 3&#8242; high and bloomed profusely! This is their 3rd year of doing the same. Expensive compost to be sure but at least it didn&#8217;t go to waste. The flowers put on quite a show.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/woodpellets.com\/blog\/2017\/07\/20\/heres-why-you-shouldnt-just-throw-out-water-damaged-wood-pellets\/\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><em>Read &gt;&gt; Here&#8217;s Why You Shouldn&#8217;t Throw Away Wet Wood Pellets<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/woodpellets.com\/blog\/2017\/05\/12\/wood-pellets-used-as-organic-mulch\/\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><em>Read &gt;&gt; Wood Pellets Used as Moisture-Holding Mulch<\/em><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We love reading feedback from our customers, especially when we get some great tips\/ideas.<strong> Do you have any to share?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We always remind our customers to do a full inspection after delivery because punctures\/tears can happen during the delivery process.
