Chip drop
I recently received a load of arbor wood chips for $20.
What many people consider waste is actually one of nature’s favorite building materials. Every chip is stored carbon, minerals pulled from deep in the soil, and future food for fungi, microbes, insects, and earthworms.
Spread over gardens, pathways, orchards, or food forests, wood chips can help:• retain moisture• suppress weeds• moderate soil temperatures• build organic matter• feed soil biology• slowly return nutrients to the earth
Forests have been using this system for thousands of years. Trees grow, leaves and branches fall, and everything eventually becomes soil again.
Sometimes building fertility doesn’t start with buying inputs. Sometimes it starts with accepting a truckload of what someone else thought was waste. 🍂
