what they DON'T tell you about WOOD CHIPS...
What don’t they tell you about wood chips that you really need to know? Today I’m going to be breaking down some of the most controversial claims regarding wood chips. Hopefully I am able to clear things up for you, and encourage you to get out and get planting!
this video is a game changer! a life changer! that's why it's on its way to a million views!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you james......YOU ARE A HERO!
Thanks bro!! I am so happy this video caught traction because this is a lot of Paul Gautschi’s teaching, and that’s a message I truly support
Hi @gardeningchannel this was a very informative post so thanks for sharing. Please do keep making the videos because this one I just watched put light on a lot of things. And I agree about proof of the pudding i.e. do wood chips work. And as much as you appreciate us, we certainly appreciate valuable information like this. Here's to your future success on steemit. Take care @racykacy
Hi @racykacy! Thank you, that is so kind of you to say. This is my passion and I love sharing it, so when people like you appreciate it that means a lot to me. :)
Take care my friend
@gardeningchannel, The information and the time and effort you put in to make the video to make us aware of some vital beneficial things was deserving of recognition. Keep safe and well @racykacy
I really wish that the median age for master gardeners and master naturalists was lower--so many of them seem closed to new information, especially permaculture-based knowledge.
We've used mulch to great success in one area of our yard. We layered cardboard, then put down compost, then mulch. This raised the surface of the ground about 8-10 inches.
That was about 4 years ago, and now, that soil is rich, dark, and relatively weed-free without much maintenance (due to only high-successional plants, not weeds, being able to find ideal sprouting conditions there). The trees and shrubs we planted there are growing at very rapid rates, and the soil is always moist, even in the dead heat of a Texas summer, without watering.
We've dug in that area over a foot down and can no longer find any evidence of the coardboard, nor the pale, clay-ish soil that used to be there!
