Wood chips: They’re abundant, inexpensive, and renewable. There are many possible applications in horticulture.
Uses of Wood Chips
Wood chips have many uses in gardens, farms, and landscapes:
- Mulch to suppress weeds and conserve moisture
- Heat for propagation
- Growing media
- High-carbon ingredient for composting systems
- Soil amendments
Ben Raskin’s new book is The Wood Chip Handbook.
He sees a lot of untapped opportunity for wood chips in horticulture. He uses wood chips at the agroforestry farm he manages. And through his work as the head of horticulture and agroforestry at the Soil Association, talks to growers and researchers working with wood chips.
