And here's what it looks like now:

As it so happens, not only did I do around the maples, I also did the entire front bed from one side of the house to the other, and about 80% of the side bed where we have three flowering bushes whose name I can never remember and a multi-trunked birch tree. When I finally return to this task, which given the weather might be much sooner than I anticipated, I will finish the side bed, then do up a ring around the ash tree in the back which also got a much smaller version of the grass-and-topsoil strip treatment two years ago and hasn't yet profited from Peggy's purchase. We also have a bed of hibiscus which I could probably give a layer of compost, too.
Which will still leave us with, by my estimate, about a cubic yard of compost, or 10% of the original supply.
