Can I use mulch from the wood chipper?

Postby CTShoreGuy » November 26th, 2011, 7:46 pm

I just took down a bunch of limbs and have several heavy bages of mulched woodchips.

I have 2 beds of new baby box woods in the front, can I spead the mulched woodchips around them?

What are the benefits to the plant/soil?

Thanks! :good:

You can absolutepy use those. They'll supress weeds and add organic matter as they slowly decompose.

Just like any untreated wood try and keep it away from the house. You never know about termites
