RE: 19th Century Factory Provides Our Homestead With WOODCHIPS! 📷 [2 Videos inside]

in #education7 years ago

$10 for a truckload!😮 We have been calling/begging everywhere to get woodchips around here Nada!!!😕 But thats so great for you. We might just buy one of those humungo leaf/grass clipping bags and attach it to our mower and use the grass clippings as mulch. We've just been raking up the grass clippings for now and adding them like mulch around our trees and plants. Also adding to our compost pile. We dont evsn have leaves here in the fall & winter so we have to use what weve got. Also looking into clumping bamboo as bamboo produces lots of its own mulch plus it has many other purposes around the homestead ; goat food, building structures, garden props,etc.😊 Happy Homesteading y'all! We will be Live @5pm central on youtube tonighf. Hope to see you there!

Possibly get a chipper, that bamboo would make great mulch, right?

I chipped a large pile of black bamboo. The fiber was like wire and got into the bearings around the chipper shaft and froze them up solid. The wood was dry and like iron. I personally would test each kind before chipping.

Wow, good advice, I guess I won't be doing that.

yes chipper is on the wishlist

You guys are blessed with this Sawmill so close by!
