My entire back yard is a huge mix of weeds. I collected cardboard from local businesses, mowed everything to the lowest point I could, layer the cardboard down, layer my garden beds down, then a top layer of wood chips. I filled my bed using a similar method as hugelculture, topped it off with local organic topsoil. I have zero weeds coming through! I checked underneath the cardboard and it successfully smothered the weeds. It's pretty awesome to see 👀

Suggest wetting the cardboard or contractor paper before putting the woodchips down; helps it to break down better.

I have a few things that grow through rhizomes. I had to do a layer of landscape cloth and wood chips on top. Otherwise the weeds will grow through any of these other things… even 10-12 inches of soil like recommended. They take quite a while to smother and will push under or through anything other than good cloth. I’m hoping I can smother it out over time and then get rid of the cloth.

I had access to free fresh wood chips from a local tree trimmer, and free wood mulch from the local recycling center, so I put a 3-4 inch layer on my terraced beds after the plants got big enough. Kept the weeds down and protected the fruits and vegetables from the southern heat. By next spring, there was usually less than an inch of mulch left, which usually got worked into the soil with other amendments, or raked aside and reused.

Innoculate and colonize those wood chips with edible mushrooms. Wine caps are a popular choice. It jump starts the decomposition process, helping to create more top soils faster while also providing you and your gardens with added nutrients.

Too many gardeners got confused about the 'Back to Eden' method. Although Paul Gautschi uses wood chips in his orchard, he uses COMPOST in his vegetable garden... Some compost from his chicken run and some compost from tub ground organics.
@DavyOneness
@DavyOneness 16 күн бұрын
It sounds like you are confused, he uses the compost with screened woodchips in the vegetable gardens. The common mistake people make is planting into woodchips instead of the dirt underneath the chips, or the dont sift the woodchips through a screen to get the big chunks out. Also other mistake is people use store bought chips treated with chemicals, or they don't use aged woodchips. Been doing it veganic for a decade now without chicken or cow feices just fine, so even the need of chickens is a misconception for success

Mulch is a termite magnet; under the right conditions; like excessive moisture and water retention in the soil from the mulch. I had managed to keep my backyard weed free after years of hand weeding. It was hard breaking work the first two years; but every year since the weed population is much less aggressive and easier to control. I love hand weeding; it may be very time consuming but extremely relaxing!!

Thanks! Great information. I had gravel removed from my Phoenix area backyard last fall and 6 to 8 inches of wood chips put down. Not a single weed has come through over the rainy winter. Yet my front and side yards with gravel got many pesky weeds. And the wood chips are already breaking down and building soil. I got mine through a free chip drop program that links arborists with gardeners. And many of the chips were even beautiful pine ones. But next time I might go directly to an arborist and request pine chips because the light color works with my yard.

Leaves are my favorite but when I travel for a couple weeks at a time the wood chip side never needs watering and thrives while I'm gone. So I mix it up like you do.

You are a wood-chip master! Been watching you for since before I moved to my "farm" six years ago. Because I have the tractor I got myself a pto chipper+shredder... probably my favorite attachment because it helps me easily clean up after storms and I get to use the chips! One thing to keep in mind if you have the option is that Ramial chips are best for garden mulch. Even with the setup I could use more chips... Another bonus for the shredder is I can put my cardboard in there before compost or for bedding. I gotta say those covers/netting setup you have on the raised beds looks very nice. Do the support poles screw in? I currently use cheap fiberglass frames from a generic cold frame and clip netting on. I've experimented with some magnets to hold covering on but haven't found a good design for that yet. It can get pretty windy and I have to put weights on my current system or it will blow away (sometimes it will even with the weights!)

I mostly use a combination of the brown paper, carboard and wood chips. I poke tiny holes in the cardboard so some oxygen and water can get through, but weeds can't get through the holes I poke. I also have cats who I buy those scratch boxes for. I save the scratch boxes after my cats are done with them and lay them down in smaller areas. They're made out of cardboard but have little "cells" all through them that allow air and water to get to the soil and little creatures. I experimented with them last year, and still have no weeds where I put them down...covered with wood chips. They're breaking down beautifully! Thank you and Tuck so much for your videos! I love your channel! 😊 Many hearts for Tuck ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank yoj, I'm originally ally from New Jersey (central) where the soil was geeat, Florida soil was toucn, but north Carolina has lots of hard clay. I have tomatoes under a huge pine tree and they love it, but the weeds between my plants have been a nightmare, ill try the chips.

I used to use cardboard until I found out a university study showed that it restricts air motion in your soil. No more cardboard or paper for me. Just woodchips, and it works fine. Masanabu Fukuokua would applaud the spirit of asking, "What else can I not do?"

We have cedar saw dust available in abundance for free ... they put it in the walls for insulation and the neighbor is demolishing their old buildings and there's old mills all around with decomposed saw dust -- piles of it. Thanks for the info!!!

Hi James, I love your channel and have learned a lot from you. This year my garden is growing for the first time in years. Oh and I am using raised beds this year. Thank you so much for all the great information. Now I was wondering if you have ever tried cotton seed hull mulch for your beds? I really want to try it but I wanted your opinion first.

Your video is exactly what I need now! Several days I am thinking to place about 12" of woodchips to suppress weeds and brushes which I got from previous owner of this house. It was like a jungle. Another benefits get rid of weeds is decrease amount of mosquitos. And I hope Millennial Gardener is watching your video, so he will remove his plastic cover. 🤣. Big heart for Tuck❤

❤❤❤ Sweet Tuck! Thanks for the contractor paper tip - unfortunately we find that weeds actually grow in the wood chips - they're not coming through the cardboard. But, hope springs eternal and we will try to make the chips deeper.

Unfortunately, in my country we're not so rich in forests, so nowhere we can get woodchips. But I personally use a lot of straw to completely mulch the soil - like, minimal as 20 cm high. Works pretty good too.
@lindaseel9986
@lindaseel9986 18 күн бұрын
Yes, straw or hay that is not good for the cattle anymore is a good choice. We have a friend who sold us hay bales that were mildewy and it made a great mulch.

The woodchips don't come from forests, they come from a company that cuts one tree out of a customer's yard.
