LOVED the info. Have multiple trees down for several yrs and have LOADS of this beautiful material and wasn't sure if it was compost or could even be used as a seed starter. I might try it for shits and giggles. Thanks for the vid girl!
I am now getting ride of what was left of a large pile of wood I mostly covered over 20 years. Approximately 2 feet from the bottom was soft wood soil.
This concept is called Hugleculture when you burry wood under dirt and plant on top. I add rotting wood to my compost pile every year. It holds the moisture and the worms love it too (probably because of the moisture). I don't hot compost, I have a 6x6x4 worm/compost pile.
I let my old wood rot down separately from my mulch, because they are two entirely different animals. Throw it into a single pile and keep it wet. All you have at the moment is rotten wood. In time, however, with no nitrogen, this will break down to carbon-rich humus, and it will be jet black. You will see the difference both in color, and how it acts in your soil(s).

I have a ton of rotten wood at the old derelict house Ive bought and flipped and I was trying to figure out what to do with it. Now I know, thanks!

I buried some and making a top dressing to feed the soil, keep the weeds down. Gathering amendments.
I thought these kind of rotting wood is bad for garden soil and I was about to through them away. thanks for good tip!
Cool
great ideal
