I only mulch what I cut from my own trees,plants and other things from my property. Bought a wood chipper years ago and I know what goes into my garden !!
I love your honesty, your opinions and your lectures. I also love seeing your dog too! You share a lot of wisdom. Thank you.
Super helpful, Jag. The 3” max thick, And the NOT letting them decompose in a pile first due to potential bug overpopulation. Yikes! Never knew those, ,so thank you so much!
I have been using bagged soil and mulch for years and years, the only issues I ever encountered was bags full of stones and another time was loaded with slug eggs. Other than that, I LOVE MULCH and once it breaks down, great for adding nutrients to the soil.
Thanks Jag for the wisdom about bulk mulch.
That's exactly what happened to my tomatoes. I got a Chipdrop and I had disease every year for three years before I noticed that a weed also had the spots and I knew it was from the woodchips then. I had lost half of my tomato plants but I got some Copper fungicide and saved the rest of them.
As always, well done, interesting, informative and entertaining. I learned a lot in three minutes! Thanks Jag!
Your wood chip advice is much appreciated as I knew very little about wood chips.
I made the mistake of mixing some composted alder chips into my garden beds and just like you said the nitrogen was locked up and my plants were looking yellow, had to add a nitrogen source to bring them back. Lesson learned
Hello, I really appreciate all of your videos. Your straightforward approach to explaining what needs to be done in the garden is very helpful. I am looking forward to watching more of your videos. Cheers
I learn so mulch 😀 from your videos. I appreciate the short and to the point format.
Thank you for sharing this information with us
Thank you. This was very informative 👍
This has been very helpful to me because I have recently signed up for chip drop. Now I know exactly what to put in the description that I don't want delivered.
I got chipped blackberry brambles when I arranged a wood chip drop. they LOOKED alright, a dry brown color, but actually they started to smell like rotten fruit, and then were full of angry ants. I had to pay someone to haul them away,
@@EvolutionWendy Oh No 😯
Great video very good information
Thank you for the great info! Fungus & diseased wood chips happened to me too! Now everything in my yard has it. When do u start the copper spray regimen & how often do u apply?
Great Information I didn't know 👍👍
Thank you info 👍
I only use wood chips in the spring to cover the mud at the bottom of the stairs.
I do mix woodchips into my garden with great results! BUT, the woodchips are shredded, soft wood, no plants are being grown during these 4 winter months, and I turn the soil over weekly with a shovel. By April, the woodchips are decomposed and dark, rich soil is left.
I had to learn these hard way
Hello Jag I get inspired and learn lot from your videos I have a doubt about soil I am a new gardener so planning to order some 50/50 top soil and compost is it good to go for grape vine yard compost or mulch and sweet potatoes compost or turkey compost I need your suggestions thank you.I am going for bulk order
Now I have a craving for chips.
Thank you for your shared wisdom. I appreciate you explaining the full swing, of your each experience. Excellently delivered. Love and light. L'alam al-mein Amen Abba 💫💙
Just got my first load of Dropchip chips🎉 wanting some guidance. I'll contact the tree co. and see what they know about it's origin 😮
Had to cut out some black walnut trees before they poisoned my other trees/plants.
Have to be careful what plants you use that mulch for, I used it for Paw Paw Mulch since they're resistant. Persimmons, Stone Fruits including Cherry and Some raspberry bushes are also tolerant.
What about pine and or spruce chips?
Hi there, I have a wood chip walkway, noticed that something is digging up the mulch after rainfall, any ideas
Get. The right ones 💯👋
I split wood and have large pieces of bark. I have a very nice garden and don't want to screw it up. Is it advisable to use large bark that came off of green Oak and Ash logs? Thank you.
How about when I want to add a layer of compost to my beds, I suppose that means removing the woodchip first. That's what I usually do but it's almost impossible to remove all the woodchip as some always gets mixed with the soil on the surface.
So what to do about that,how do you know how much residual wood chip is ok to leave.
I can never find an answer to this.
Little bit of residual woodchips is ok. As long as you can scoop up all the big pieces and don't mix those in your soil.
Two years ago I got mine from the city yard, my only source. I think they they came with earwigs. I found a lot hiding in the apple tree socks. Last year I did not see as many... possibly the birds ate them. I see them out there turning over wood chips looking for protein.
Wood chips can you get from the hardware
Fresh cut arborist chips will break down quickly because they contain leaves, trigs, moisture. Chips allow air flow, essential for micro-organisms in the soil to work on them. KEEP moist, add a little greens or manure to speed up conversion to soil, but it's not necessary. Last, if weeds are a problem, keep the depth at 4" minimum, going up to 2'. If moisture level is correct, not to wet or dry, the level should drop monthly, until the following fall when fresh chips/leaves (shredded) can be added for continuous increase in soil fertility. No composting needed.
Jag, you can guest lecture at Agriculture institutions both there and in India.. they will welcome you . The younger generation in Bangalore are more interested in Agri and Gardening as i see the trend here in India, of late. Organic produce and veganism is becoming popular among young Indians. Your knowledge will be of more use . Think about it
Well, i received a (big) load of wood chips in December and now I hear dont put it in the garden it will tie up the nit. In the soil so, i am stuck with the pile( help from indiana )
Use it as mulch on walkways and even around your plants. Do not mix in the soil. Woodchips might increase the population of bugs specially pillbugs and earwigs which you will have to mitigate.
I've read a lot about wood chips and want to use wood chips but there is no reliable source here. Maybe because Recology now takes green waste free. I got an arborist to drop chips, but they were chipped blackberry bramble. They looked good, but started to ferment, plus it turned out they were full of ants, and I had to pay someone else to haul that stuff away. Everyone's talking about wood chips but where i live, the average person can't source then.
👍👍
Either I get free wood chips, source unknown, or none at all.
Most wood chips are from dead (and usually diseased) trees.
About nitrogen issues - I put on a good layer of used coffee grounds on top of the chips.
Stealing nitrogen is not a problem if you foliar feed your plants.
Stealing nitrogen helps eliminate weeds too.
Can't you just add grass clippings over them to make up for the nitrogen?
woodchips only steal nitrogen from soil if you mix them in the soil
Here's another mistake for the list:
Do not use wood chips from black walnut trees! Black walnut contains a chemical called juglone which most plants cannot cope with.
Jag, i couldn't help noticing Laila at the back playing. Please post a couple of videos on her routine and her playtime. Please... wanting to watch her again after that playful bathtime video. Waiting for long
I wish subtitles were possible listening is hard to understand can you write down lists and show? I had to relisten 5 times
Thanks for the tips
Tap the screen and hit CC for subtitles
I want to add that Jag's voice is clear and perfectly pronounced English. The comment says more about the commenter than about reality.
Be very careful to watch your pile of wood chips! THEY CAN START BURNING!!!
