The laugh after chipping away was gold 😂
Those forks you are using in the pile of chips look fantastic! Where can a person buy one?
For folks interested in the silly looking oversized plastic forks, they are pretty rad, although pretty expensive. We got them from amleo.com, we aren't sponsored by them obviously, and you could probably do great just using a multi tined metal fork from a yard sale.
Description has an email for our friend Tama if you wanna get some plants from him! Hudson Valley NY folks, a new nursery is around 🙂
"chipping away" I love it
I love wood chips! Ordered about 10 bags of wine cap spawn to turn loose in mine. I have 15 loads of chips on the main side of the road. And a tree trimming company dumping free will as they need on the other side. Score!!! 😉 You're right though- 6-8" minimum. I have a few places that was probably as shallow as 4" and the chickweed and sorrel are springing forth in springtime exuberant excitement: oh bummer, right? 🙂
We use a ridiculous amount of woodchip, but it's a great resource.
"Low complexity"? You mean "simple"
Those lil mushrooms popping out of the mulch seems to be standard orange mold or orange slime mold. It's pretty common in decaying moist wood so it makes sense it's shown up in your pile of chips. Ya, def do not eat hahaha! However it's harmless to your environment and it'll move along when it no longer finds the area habitable. Orange mold is quite like the isopod of the mold world….they help break decaying/dead wood down and make it new soil, it does not go after healthy/living specimens. So basically, it's there helping and you may find it popping up or 'crawling' across your property, to which I say it's just moving on, looking for a new home.
5:04 That's Steve. Steve's cool.
Leratiomyces ceres?
ever start at the far end so when you wanting to stop you have short trip rather than a long trip
Im so ready to be doing this with my chip piles but still frozen in here in the Rockies. Thanks for your fine videos!
I bet that haircut feels aerodynamic!
I can't believe you had snow two weeks ago and now you're both in T-shirts..! 😳 Soooo jealous!
Thank you for sharing this information with us
Why so blue? 😉
Those are some lovely wood chips. We live in the ponderosa pine forest, so our chip drops are mixed heavily with pine needles. It does the job though
Just a thought. This only works with cool seasons grasses. Try this with Bermuda or Zoysia and it will grow right through it.
I like the Logan wolverine look
Thanks for another informative video! Please tell us about your pitchforks your moving woodchips with.
The mushrooms look like they may be from the Tubaria genus. Possibly Tubaria furfuracea
Good sir, would you have any concerns using cedar chips for the same job?
We been getting a ton of 🍄in our piles so I bought more spores to inoculate the pile even more.. mama's going to make dinner and make dirt 😜
