#chip drop

This is the Chip Drop I got a couple years ago. Alex covered the whole garden with the chips, and then made raised beds. The garden was so overgrown it was the easiest and cheapest way to control the weeds and not hurt the environment. They are breaking down nicely, and can hopefully be added to garden beds and the compost in the next year or so, and then I'll order another load.

We just received our first Chip Drop!! The pictures don't do justice on how big this pile is! I'm about to have some very happy chickens and manicured paths!!

A town south of us got hammered by that recent storm. They had downed trees on practically every road. Our arborist came from that clean up. Said he's already delivered a load to family nearby. He's going back for another round. I let him know we have plenty of room for more if he can't find another place to dump it. (The local places were going to charge him $50 for chips and $200 for logs to dump it.)

This weekend is going to be busy! Omg I'm stupid excited about this.

If any of my US people are interested in Chip Drop, I definitely recommend checking it out!

This morning's chore is adding wood mulch next to the coop! I weedeated last night to jumpstart the process.

Using the buckets has been the best tools to use for this project! I can't get my lawn mower around the coop safely (or without getting stuck). I tried to dump chips at the beginning and spread them out, but that became more work than I wanted.

Afternoon delivery I love wood chips. I can spread them. I can leave them sitting. Either way, it’s all goodness: mulch or compost. These guys showed up while I was in the woods with Bobo and the Goats…

Ohhhhhhhhhhh...
