Learn and experiment. Got it. Thanks for sharing.
Ok..so I don't have access to wood chips without buying them, as big as my garden is I couldn't afford that. So I decided to go with straw on half my garden. I planted some annual rye grass before I put straw down. I do also have few weeds under the straw. Of course I want the straw to build my soil…is this a good approach since I can't use wood chips ? Thanks
One more question please, weeds won't build soil correct? Only grasses and plants ?
I appreciate your “hands on” teaching style. Love the videos!
Sometimes is good to break the rules!
I plant directly in wood chips once they turned dark. My flowers love to grow in the chips. If more time is needed before I can plant directly, then I just scoop out a hole, fill it will planting soil and plant.
What kind of amendments do you add to your wood chips?
I know that I repeat myself, but smile roll over my face.
I told you when you planted them they would grow I have this spring hundreds of squshes growing all over my garden just in wood chips that were left from last year .
That amazing. I haven’t planted right into my wood chips yet. But it sure looks like it will work. Thanks for the update. Have a great day..!!
Appreciate the update! Thanks, Mark
I have found that if I plant in my wood chips under where the birds rest the droppings of the birds make the plants go wild. The best I have ever done was 10 inches of leaves, then put 12 inches of wood chips. The leaves under neath composted into awesome soil and the plants went wild.
As you say this is 3 year old wood chips,. The wood chips need to be broken down a bit before you get these results.
did you bury the seeds and how much.. or did you just push the seeds into the chips?
Wow those are some pretty roots from planting in wood chips of all things.
I love ur videos. Feel I'm cheating the system and getting a free education.
I'm over run by and in my woodchips. I've tried all kinds of things to get rid of them. I don't want to use any chemical pesticides in my garden. Help.
Thanks for sharing!
Good to know. Thanks.
Are there any type of wood chips that are bad for your garden? I hear black walnut is not good.
Thanks for the video Mark, it would be interesting to see if the plants have the same nutritional value as their soil counterparts once matured.
I love using wood chips! It's interesting to see how , in your vids, you investigate the methods you are trying and document them.
They are looking good. The chips have had time to break down the chips look good underneath . 😉
