Composting with Wood Chips


Here is an interesting method for mulching orchards, gardens, flower beds, borders, and anything else you might want to keep weed free using wood chips.  The video Back to Eden features a garden in Washington where the owner has had amazing results.  I am definitely going to try this.  

The video is longish, but you can get the jest of the idea in the first part of it.  There is also more information on their website.  Just use the chips as a mulch however, don't plant in them or till them in.

We had a free load of wood chips delivered a couple of years ago by a tree service trying to find a place to dump them.  We put them in the paddock area where our horses are and it has kept the area mud free.
