[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3988557, member: 5412"] Well, as previously said, we don’t grow a garden anymore because of our travels, but have been helping a buddy get in his 1/2 acre patch. Not as sophisticated as some of you folks but he shares buckets of veggies when we are home. Fell into a goldmine today. He had noticed a neighbor about 1/4 mile down the road had a huge pile of wood chips from one of those contract tree trimmers piled up in his pasture for years, so he stopped in and asked what his plans were for them. The guy said he gave the company permission to dump chips as he needed some to create mulch. He had to leave town for a week unexpectedly, coming home to this huge pile. He basically begged us to take all we wanted, so today started hauling them in my military surplus dump trailer. Amazingly rich black mulch dirt under about a foot of chips had developed which will really fertilize the sandy soil at buddies garden. Even found a couple morel mushrooms growing on the pile. I’ll take pics tomorrow when we haul more and use my 3 point tiller to mix the mulch into the garden. Onions and taters going in shortly after. [/QUOTE]
