Wood chip mulch

Wood chip mulch

Question from stephen howe

I have a quantity of wood chippings derived from a recent chainsawing marathon. Would these be suitable as a mulch for raspberry canes? the wood is mostly hardwood.

Thanks Steve

    Hi Steve.......
    I use chippings quite a lot,but normally leave them for a year before using them.....often add leaves and grass cuttings to them as well.....

    The wood would absorb nitrogen as it decays, robbing it from the raspberries. You could use it as a mulch on the paths or let it rot down a couple of years
