OK, I am going to remove my old, infested mulch. But, what do I do with it?

Artillery Fungus- Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

When applying mulch, should you remove the old mulch first?

Merrifield Garden Center: Gardening F.A.Q.
This depends on several factors such as how often you mulch, how much mulch you apply each time and the type of mulch. If you only applied a thin layer of mulch the last time and it has broken down quite a bit, then it is generally best to turn the mulch over, work it into the soil and then add new mulch right on top of the old mulch. That way, it will continue to breakdown and become beneficial organic matter.

When is it OK to use someone else's old used jewelry?

Body Piercing Guide-Body Piercing Questions And Answers
Used jewelry should never be put in someone else's piercings unless it is "made new" again. That means that it should be fully cleaned, polished, and sterilized again -- essentially going through its last step of manufacturing a second time. If you leave out this step, it is very easy to pass disease from person to person. Other than that, the only real concern with using someone else's jewelry is that you don't neccessarily know where they got it or what the quality is.

My wheels are old, but are they ok?

ENGEL'S COACH SHOP
Much of the answer to this question revolves around heftiness of the wheels and your intentions for use. Light delicate wheels that are showing signs of dry rot, or weather checking, are not ideal candidates for heavy use. On the other hand, heavy wagon wheels that have 3" or 4" tires can stand quite a bit of weather checking and still have a reasonably solid core; they may not be aesthetically beautiful, but can be structurally sound.

If you are forced to remove old veneer, a heat gun and a putty knife are essential tools. You must first apply heat to the edge of the veneer to loosen the glue. Then start with the putty knife under the edge and lift as you go. This process can be slow and the veneer will likely come off in small chunks.
