Got it going,from this new bed area....  To this,cool,a guy had tree trimmers a street over,got a lot of chips from them,14 trasch cans total now,going to fill in more areas too just because it beats talcum powder dirt.  Chickens loving it,already scratching and adding poo while we filled it in,got 2-3 inches so far.  |

after the chips start breaking down they do supply a good amount of NPK to plants..but while breaking down, considerable amounts of nitrogen can be leached by the chips breaking down...
this is only where the wood chips contact the soil and a small area around that...using them on top the ground until they break down, then tilled in they build a wonderful soil that is nutrient rich
looks good Spuds and chickens doing their "thang" means they like it too...
