How many ways can I use wood chips on my property 

Good idea putting them in the pig pen and chicken coop. Next year clean out both, and put it on the garden or pasture, it will continue to break down and be great natural fertilizer.

I dig that old time music.

Wood chips will not Rob your soil of nitrogen as long as you keep them on top of the soil. If you work the chips into the soil it will deprive your soil of nitrogen. Been using wood chips for a decade now with great success.!!!!

I use wood chips on my driveway, works great and I no longer have standing water after a rain.

I use a 4 tine hay fork to shovel and move wood chips. Works better for me than rake or shovel.

You're very good men,thanks for all information!👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

Carbon in the woodchips reacts with the nitrogen the pigs deposit and not only reduces the smell but enriches the soil as it enthusiatically composts. In your barnyard that will encourage bugs that your chickens will really enjoy eating.

Hi there Good information Use things that you have and save Have a good day 👍👍👍👍🐥😁

I've been using bagged hardwood mulch from Lowes in the springtime for weed control for many years in our flower beds and it seldom lasts over a year. By the time next spring rolls around it is mostly broken down. Now the pine bark mulch seems to last a little longer. I use that around our azaleas and hydrangea because they like it. Our azaleas really like pine straw.

If you have a bare area with little to no tosoil. Try throwing some grass seed down then a bunch of hay over it. I’m not saying you’ll have golf course but I’ve been very surprised this year at how well it’s worked. Must be hay will make great topsoil over time.

We use them here on the walk trail around the cabin in South East Alaska.

Excellent and beautiful!!! TY

Orchard looks so good

Nice video. Thanks for sharing. I’ve got some to put in my flower bed

Very nice way to recycle the waste from the tree that you had cut down. One way that I use some of that is on my backstop at my shooting range. I don't just use wood chips, but also small trees that I dig out with my back hoe. I have the material piled up and dump excess soil on top of it to make the backstop and make my shooting just a little bit safer. Eventually over the years it should probably make a little "hill".

Thanks for the humble tips.

Hi Evin. My name is Daniel and i own an Integrated Organic Farm in Tamil Nadu India. I use wood chips in my farm. I want to Thank You for your valuable information about the effective ways to use wood chips in a farm You have an organized farm. Thanks once again.

Beautiful farm there brother. Very nice. 👍🏻

Good video!!!! We r doing back to eden garden. Hope to get some for my perennial/ orchard.

I use them to fill raised planting beds and then add your planting soil on top

I get to bingeing on your videos and be late to work....

Love this

Damn nice property

Hey even another thing if you had a wood chipper you could run the chips through twice to chip them smaller

Nice

i also use woodchips in my landscape- i subscribed

Good job at the end!!!! It seems you gotta answer the questions begore they arrise.... super diplomatic, seriously....! You answered so many questions in such a short time frame, THANKYOU!!!!

I’m a certified arborist and also have a degree in forestry. Do use of wood chips are quite beneficial however I noticed you mention them being used as animal bedding to Will Chips I would not recommend for this purpose would be what chips from a cherry tree. Which are toxic to animals. Also walnut chips are phytotoxic I would not suggest use these in your garden beds perhaps areas you wish to keep weeds down...

Great video. Thank you! One thing -- please expose the root flares of your trees. That will allow them to thrive.

Put you some Ag Lime on that dirt. Dose wonders for mud!

First time seeing your video. Beautiful place you have what city/town and state do you live. Would like to continue to watch your videos.

Hey even maybe you should invest in a wood chipper for all of your brush and some wood that would save in buying hay or strall

Do you recycle the wood chip from your chicken coop by putting them around the fruit trees and plants in order that the poop will serve as a natural fertiliser while the wood chip serves a good medium. Can you think of any possibility that that might be detrimental to the plants for whatever reason?

Our pigs love wood chips

Joel Salitan calls wood chips in a livestock pen a "carbonacious diaper."😂

Add some solar water pump fountains to your pond.

OMG thank you for saying something about the mulch against the tree trunks! I was yelling at the screen until you did that. ;-) I've seen so many people mulch incorrectly I think I have some sort of pent-up mulch rage LOL. I too, have a big pile of wood chips for exactly the same reason as you, took a tree down. So far, I've mulched some perennial beds, my garlic and fall-planted potato beds, and my blackberry beds. I have had (crab)grass walkways for a long time, but they are a big pain between my trellises. I'm thinking about spreading the rest of the mulch as walkways. Really on the fence about that. I know it's been awhile since you published this video. Did you find that the wood chips as walkways harbored pests? That's what I'm most concerned about. Thanks and great video!

Update on the 243 ar10 please. Thanks.

Are these wood chips ? looks more like it is shredded wood

Belarus 2021 Zabudova Wood chips pellets...

Don't volcano mulch your trees. This encourages root root and basal decay. Your feeding roots are away from the base of the tree, a few inches under the soil.

What woodchipper did you use or did someone else do it for you? Trying to decide on which woodchipper to purchase.

I am going to cover my entire weed only yard with woodchips...then add stones and plants...

Wrote too soon. Apologies. I see you know what you're doing.

As much as I like the guitar music, if you could, please very the tune! Lol

can it be used for bedding

Cover where they poop it will be good compost

Overfilling your wheelbarrow = less trips

Do you know that wood chips are very dried up and very light, when ignited and blown by the wind, they can create havoc like in California where houses and forests were burn down?

When are you gonna clean up that concrete pile in your barnyard ? It's such an eyesore , and you have such a nice area there.

Why he didn't charred them? They would absorb the bad smell and pee...you would lose only a half to 2/3 of wood mass during the charring...plus soil after that would be GODLY! Mix with the soil after one year of use, and get 2-10 times more crops! No joke !!! (depends of the degree of aridity)

The wood chips will rob N only on the surface of the soil

Be careful using wood chips around newly hatched poultry. Only use wood chips from softwood trees like pine. Chips from hardwoods can give off a gas that will blind baby poultry.

Don't they require mud to protect their skin? oh sorry missed the bit about leaving their mud bath lol

I sure wish you'd remove Mount Cinderblock from the barnyard. It's a safety hazard for all involved. I'll shut up now.

Water must be tight round there for you to hang the waterer from the rafters , or is that entertainment ? Hope u never chip up a cedar tree and bed chicken coop with it , has highest toxic levels when it dampens it releases toxins and chickens just fall over ...

Did anyone else see the ad for the village girls ? Wow

Long to decay.better is kitchen compost or human urine as fertilizer

no wood chips are best thay absorb smell

Be careful using woodchips around your trees so they dont rot out

Boring, video too long, nothing new re uses for woodchips

Use wood chips to suppress weeds on the footpaths in the garden, after they compost just shovel them to where the plants can benefit from them.

Where your grass won't grow, add some gypsum. It will convert clay back to topsoil. Add it fall and spring for a couple of years. It will start working way before that, but add it for a couple years. I do this wherever we dig and bring up clay. It works very well.

Great video! A five tine fork is A great way to handle mulch and wood chips, even compost. Highly recommend making the investment.

Man, you are genius, in the way you explain how beneficial wood chips for your land and livestock, keep up the good work

What I have found is that wood chips placed on the top of soil will not steal Nitrogen except the top couple of inches and it takes 2 or 3 years to compost. After 2 or 3 years I turn it under and then you really have a nitrogen problem. I usually add a layer of grass clippings to the chips when I mix it in. Then add some Blood Meal for the next year or two to satisfy the nitrogen depletion.

Bro next time you get chips drop. Drop them in your food forest/ orchard. Spread all over the grass. Your trees will explode in growing. Your tree trunks will never burn. I have my trees in 8 inches of woodchips.

What a gorgeous house you have!!! (And thank you for the informative video too.)

Naked soil is wrong. Chips are fantastic compared to dust, mud, eroding soil and instant dehydration. When I have my plants mulched I broadcast the rest including thin layer on lawns.

Your place is really looking good great job Evan. Cheers

You can use your old tire pile to build a space. It needs to be wide so you can move materials from one side to the other when you turn it over

Perhaps you could mulch around your chestnut trees as well ;)

with prices back in the united you better get those wood chips off your tree trunks wood chips will rot those tree trunk when the bark is compromised on your trees from the

One problem with wood chips around a building is that they attract ear wigs ,not nice close to your house

Who built your house?how deep is your pond?

bonjour , you should put straw over the grass seed ( next to the house ) held to keep humidity and prevent ?? do not know the word ( losing the seed went big rain )

How many acres do you own.

Nothing, including woodchips, should touch the bark of your trees clear down to the root flare. If those trees are planted as deep as they look, you will need to leave a wider moat around them to make sure none of the chip materials falls down to touch the bark.

When the wife said you need to bring home the bacon, she didn't mean pig's.$ lol kidding. At least she didn't say bing home a couple of chicks.lol. You have a nice place there. Wood chips do make it look better then straw. The trees should do better since the grass won't rob the water from them. Love the house the wood chips were in front of. Thanks for video.

Wood chips will suck the nitrogen out of soil only if you mix it in. If you use wood chips to cover the soil. you are safe.

You have a bucket on the tractor, but spread the mulch by hand in the barnyard. Looks exhausting.

Grow stropharia rugosoannulta (wine cap mushrooms) in the wood chips. Delicious!

Would it be a good idea to mix the wood chips (carbon) with beer waste (nitrogen) then mulch around the tree?

Pigs need a mud bath area to cool down and to cover in mud so they don't get sun burnt

This video just popped up again tonight. Turn your garden into a food Forest for one thing.

What a beautiful place you have.Just gorgeous

Make wood pallets

If you put stone path use membranes

Neat tip about the pigpen + high N with the chips & a potential garden bed or scoop & use compost after grow out season. Are you still getting the chestnut seeds for starting? Are they hybrids or from a local nursery ? What zone are you guys in 5? thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing.
