- Woke up to an unexpected voicemail from a tree service company looking for a place to drop chips. After the drop-off, my brother and I spent the day chipping what we could!

What to Expect on our Channel:
Tiny Hilltop is the digital life-form of Nate and Evan's journey toward food self-sufficiency. Videos will include organic gardening, greenhouse gardening, and starting an orchard using permaculture concepts when possible. We hope that our videos can bring the peace and tranquility we feel when growing food amongst the trees. We would be honored if you chose to follow along on our journey!
Tiny Hilltop Background:
Nate has been dealing with chronic health issues for over a decade. The worst of it starting in 2011, taking me from 200lbs to 150lbs in a few months. He was mostly bedridden, requiring a wheelchair to leave the house for nearly three years. Liver and immune issues caused him to develop a sensitivity to chemicals. That started his journey towards living remotely, designing a non-toxic tiny house, growing his own food, and attempting to be as self sustainable as possible. Starting in 2020, Evan, will be doing most of the heavy lifting but Nate will still be involved with planning and production of videos.
Thanks For Watching!
Its just me and a wheel barrow and it is taking me forever.
But….. you got some 👍
you finish moving them yet? Lol. I have the same problem.
@@southbridgeforestHOA lol, I finished after several weekends and won’t be ordering another load with buried garbage , branches, leaves.
My boyfriend and I get SO EXCITED about woodchips!
You're rich :D
They really are gold!
You go ahead and get as excited as you want about wood chips! Your place is awesome!
Thanks! I was a little giddy haha. It is slowly starting to come together. I have an idea in my mind of what I want it to look like and it is inching towards that.
Wood chips are beautiful sight! When we have a certain plan, it's impossible to NOT be excited about a load of chips arriving. We have a load coming as soon as I give him the day. Be excited Nate, and we'll join in and be excited with you!! :) TFS ♥
Thanks, Vicki! I have been putting them to good use
Nice to see the wood chips showing up. Good to see regular vids again. Take care my friend.
It is perfectly normal to get excited about woodchips!
So great that Evan came to visit and help you! Every week seeing a ton more green - divine! Good for you! Rock on!
Shoot 📸🎥📷noooooo! I’m so sorry! Hope to see ya up & running sooner than later.... alligator 🌝!
I should probably buy some stock in Canon haha
Sweet you have good Karma working for you great job keep rocking Nate
I need some good camera karma haha
I was showed this amazing piece of man powered machinery as a child and still use one every week. Wheel barrows are awesome and don't run on gas or batteries.
You have a good eye in film-making--- congratulations on the wood chips :D
Sometimes I forget I am filming haha but that can lead to a nice transition if I leave the camera on. Now, if I can stop breaking my camera all the time I will be set.
Ha ha ha loved the close up with the quad's wheel! Great luck with the Wood chips eh? Wahoo. Nice work. Those cukes look fantastic. Relish recipes are next. Yummm!
I am experimenting with freezing the cucumbers right now with moderate success. if I could figure that out it would be huge for me. I eat a cucumber every day.
Thats gr8 Nate.wish i could get deliveries here in tennessee.but im really way out in the stix.:) gd forU
Yeah, I was shocked that they were close to me. But I will take them haha
Great job sir it's amazing how excited we get about wood chips LOL I've also put a lot of work in as you have trying to seek out with chips so I know all about the excitement when they finally begin to show up keep up the good work brother
Not a fan of snakes in general, but ribbon snakes like the one at the beginning of your video are SO cute. I called one in the yard once and it slithered up through the grass like a pet dog. I sat next to one in a sun patch and had a lovely chat for about ten minutes.. we were just looking at each other and it cocked its head at me like it understood. 😀
That is a Garter Snake not a Ribbon Snake. Closely related but Ribbons are generally partially aquatic and much, much more slender. Garters get heavier bodies with that fatter head and tend to be more terrestrial and eat even small mammals. Ribbons tend to feed more on fish and aquatic vertibraes but will eat some small lizards and even insects.
The chip struggle os real here dude. Been on a list with the tree company that subs from the power company for over 2 years. Couple weeks ago they were working less than a mile from my house..I stopped and asked three days in a row with a promise to drop all i wanted each time. Then they just never came. I offered to pay the driver and everything...a little frustrating
Man, that sounds frustrating. I tried to get on the power company list but they just kept passing me around from department to department.
Subscribe to: getchipdrop.com. You will get a free load when one of their subscribing arborist are in your area. The service is free to you, but the tree company pays $20 to chipdrop. If you pay $20,, the company gets to drop for free. You're almost guaranteed to get a drop. Good luck!

@@ronkane4426 So true, I just got a load of chips 11-14-18. But I was willing to pay $20 so the arborists was allowed to drop free to them! I waited about 4 months. I received an email about 2 hours before they arrived.
I also checked that I'm willing to take a few logs. It was about 85% wood chips 15% logs. Which is ok, I'm going to make firewood. 😎
For tree trimmers a case of Coors yellow-bellies and a bottle of Jack seems to work better than cash in my experience...
The power of lists
Get the wheelbarrell out
It was killing me seeing them use the wrong tool for the job.
Wonder how that worked out. I put carboard down and then chips on top but it made soil sour. Too much carbon. It took 2 years for the chips to break down and make good soil. The chips make a great walkway though. Nothing will grow in them. Around the fruit trees is good too. But not in the vegetable garden
I'm with you man. I love getting chips.
Leave them in a pile keep the heat in that's when they decompose the best
I know this video is 4 years old... and you probably already know this... but if you let a new pile of chips get wet and sit for 10-14 days, you'll get a ton of composting effect and wayyyyy faster breakdown in the long run.
A wheelbarrow would have made things go alot faster than that little bed. lol
ALL THE WOODCHIPS!
I want them all or nothing at all haha
Nice video nate. Thats allot of work 😖
Yeah it was, but hopefully it saves me a lot of work by not having to mow. Thanks!
Fill some of those low areas in the lawn with chips too?
Awesome video! What was that paper you put under the wood chips!!!!!
construction paper... to help keep the grass under control
At 1:30, keeping the hope alive.
Hi ! Where did you buy your brown paper you used beneath the woodchips ?
where do you get that material you lay down like tarp ?
Home depot. It is just rolls of construction paper.
Dang, no tractor?
Where is the roll of paper from?
It is just regular contractor's paper from Home Depot.

How many yards would you say this is?
I'd guess 12.
I just signed up the other day at woodchipdrop.com It's a great concept, I hope it works out 😀
Who is the artist in the middle of the video (around 5:30)?
