   Just got finished with grinding our slab pile. After a couple of half-hearted attempts in the past year and a half we ground the whole pile. The slabs covered
almost an acre of ground, piled as high as I could get them with a front end loader. It's mostly cypress, but is mixed with about every other sawable tree species  that grows in Florida.Some of the slabs were three years old. It was easy to tell the cypress in the old slabs, everything else was compost.
It took three days with a Bandit horizontal grinder being fed with a "thumb" equipt trac-hoe, and a grapple loader to move the slabs close. My guestimate is 2500 cubic yards, of course I could be off by 1000! :D  At 2-3  yards per pick-up load I need a bunch of customers, Quick!
   The mulch season is just beginning here in Florida. Hope the market gets hot, the grinding bill is due tomorrow!  :(

Call every landscape company within 50 miles.  Some will buy bulk.



If it is in a big pile it could start to heat and catch fire.
