Wood Chips-Many people use wood chips because they are accessible and pretty to look at. Wood chips decay slowly, so don't use them as mulch if you're looking for your mulch to add a lot of nutrients to your soil. Also, choose your type of wood chips wisely, picking the kind that will best benefit your specific plants.

If you like to work on outdoor projects, deciding on a garden shed design that can take care of woodchip gardening tools and supplies while giving you a space to work can be a dream come true. A shed for your garden is not only a functional solution to a storage problem, but it is a fun project your can do yourself.



gardening with woodchip mulch Sawdust-Very similar to the benefits of wood chips, but because sawdust is already physically broken down, its nutrients can be offered to your plants much quicker. However, it is best to apply the sawdust once it has begun to rot a bit from moisture. Dry sawdust is a fire risk, so apply it moist and keep it moist.

It can be tempting to snatch up your gardening tools and make a run for the weediest garden bed as soon as the sun appears, especially in soggy locales like the Pacific Northwest. However, you're much more likely to injure yourself if you fail to warm up your muscles first. As chiropractic doctors can tell you, cold muscles are more prone to strains and sprains. To warm up, take a brisk five- or ten-minute walk, do ten jumping jacks, or simply stretch out muscles that tend to become sore as you work.

Adding mulch from your own yard waste by using wood mulching equipment will nourish your trees and other plants. Because mulch is organic, it decomposes over time, creating a nutrient-dense environment for your trees roots.

When using mulch around certain plants (tomatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins, squash, etc.) you can ensure that any fruit resting on the ground will instead rest on a nice thick matting of mulch. This will slow down the rotting that vegetables usually rush to once they sit on the ground.
