RE: VIDEO - A Sneak Peak at Our Back to Eden Garden!!
I started our BTE a few years ago and have been adding more woodchips every year since. Here in the south they breakdown really fast. The only problem I have experienced is the weed seeds IN THE CHIPS! Since you're making a super growth medium, everything loved to grow in this stuff which is good and bad. The plus side is that the weeds are easy to pull but I have to stay on top of them before they take over.
hmmm I thought BTE gardens were supposed to be weed-free??? That's half the reason I'm doing it! And yeah, we're chipping our own, but also getting some wood chips from local arborists. I don't think you can avoid getting weed seeds in some of it! We shall see!
