Re: Wood Chips
I use wood chips! But I have not been able to get them in the last 2 years. I was quote $350 per load delivered. WAY to high for my me. I will use 15 yards a year. I can take even more. But not owning a truck, its almost impossible for me to get them anymore.
Kat is right, they are hard to get in Brevard county! I cant even get Asplund to dump for me anymore.  If I had a tractor and a truck, I would be on horse manure 24/7. But moving 15+ yards of anything by hand is just crazy talk. |

Re: Wood Chips
Geez I can get as many 15 yards loads as I want. Local Electrical Company is trimming trees all year down here in hurricane land. All clean tropical hardwood much from undeveloped tropical hardwood hammocks. Clean stuff.
I move the 15 cubic yards by shovel and wheel barrow a couple of times a year - not that big of deal. I can do about half the pile in a day. It is hard work though. Yes I pile it up thick, maybe 6-12 inches ++. In weeks I can see banana roots all the way at the top. I've never had problems with Pstems rotting. I do the same with my citrus plants too (but I keep the trunk clean) - Ive noticed anything with top feeding roots loves it. Not to mention where I live the soil is high PH - the wood chips I believe might help in stabilizing the PH of the soil, at least at the surface. Last edited by mskin : 04-11-2016 at 08:36 AM. |
