Do wood chips tie up nitrogen in the soil? That is one of the questions I am asked most often, and today we will look into it.

So much like
"The teeth of the forest". I like it! The food forest is looking great, James!
Excellent demo James! I especially like that you mention not to mix or dig it in. The mulch is looking wonderful and everything thrives in it. Great job!
Ohhhhh….live and learn. Thank you James
Great Video.. Explains all the info you will ever need answered .. THANKS for sharing..
Hey, nice!
Nice!
Do you replace your wood chips every year?
sounds great, I plowed my garden and made the middle (space between rows) extra deep, knee deep, I added tons of green wood chips in the middle until it was level with the rows, then at the end of the growing season the middles would be completely rotten, I added over eight inches of top soil to my garden in three years
Here's a study done mixing wood chips into the soil, without nitrogen tie-up problems.
Just needed to add a minimal amount of nitrogen fertilizer.

Bravo!
Thanks! Very informative.
I don't understand, if i have a bad soil tough like a rock, i put wood chips and plant on the same soil? or in the humus created from them? i would have to put a lot to be good for a root system right?
ps: i really love your videos!!
I’ve been using wood chips as an amendment to my pure clay native soil. I definitely helped with drainage, especially for potted trees. I haven’t seen any issues so far but I’ll let you know if that changes
Thank you VERY much. Can you use any wood? how about leaves?
Did you lay your mulch directly without any covering like cardboard?
I think this video about Mulching is one of your secrets in your gardening, James. Thanks i found it.
Have a good one!
Sir why don't you have on gloves if your touching fungus just curious have you ever got a reaction thanks God bless
Last year late fall-early winter I received a load of wood chips in my driveway, I was not able to place them in my garden
I have gotten them placed in my garden area starting in February and March, I am now beginning to plant my garden using those wood chips that I have placed in my garden.
I am now beginning to plant so do you think that my vegetables will do well? Or should I have waiting?
I will not have to worry about not having wood chips again this fall as I have two more loads now waiting to be moved and spread out in the area. I have gotten them in the last couple of weeks
Exactly what I needed to see
You probably have been asked this to a of times but how deep got wood chips? I have a whole pile ready to go!!!! I have 3 boxes. should I put WC on top?
You do not want to use red wigglers they are an invasive species and will make your tomatoes produce more mycotoxins. Also they steal the soil nutrients.
Is there any difference between aged wood chips or fresh ones?
Hoi, i did not understand "mulch" bud this video helpt me to understands. Gr from the Netherlands.
Your harvests are amazing. And the playlists you created are so well organized and are as valueable as gold! Thx for you taking the time to share your knowledge! 🙂
Towards the case for "and" instead of either-or, I've begun adding "yard waste" from my neighborhood. The cost is FREE except for the fact the neighbors think I'm crazy but, that helps keep my house safe. A crazy man will burn your shit to the ground so, they leave me alone as I drive around collecting bagged oak, maple and pine leaves and needles. I'm too dumb and lazy to compost. It's way too much of a pain in the ass so, I lay out the leaves in very thick layers and water over them. Talk about fungus amoung us? In the first week, I thought I'd have to call animal control! What the heck is that? Turns out, it was 5 pounds of something called "Pink Oyster Mushrooms". Some folks say you have to mulch the oak leaves but, like I mentioned, I'm dumb and lazy so, screw that. They're doing fine without it. Just water and tah dah! SOIL!
Also, big fat "expert tip": If you feel that your plants are low in nitrogen. Let's say you have some psychological malfunction or, the leaves aren't green enough to suit you, just whip out your junk and pee near the roots. For real. Urea is an excellent "organic" soil nitrosome, in the nitrate to nitrite cycle. I mean, don't do it by the road with kids walking by or nothing. "Hello Ladies!". None of that.
What kind of wood are your wood chips?
Enjoyed the video, appreciated the information…I use wood chips as a mulch.
What was the music at the beginning?
