What do you think is the easiest way to retrieve lead from rubber mulch?
Do they migrate to the bottom or stay at the same elevation as entry?
I can access my rubber/lead from the top of my 20" x 20' cube or I can remove the heavy rubber front and let it all dump out onto a tarp. I've caught a lot but not retrieved it yet.
