The End Is Near: Wood Chips Covering the Back Yard

I'm nearly finished covering the back yard in woodchips for the food forest. As progress is made, more big ideas are being entertained for future additions. Today, working on the 7th chip drop. While the rest of the grass does get covered, it's not as thick as I want, so I'm going to get another load to help top up the chip layer. I'm also working on the border edging of the food forest to help pretty up the edges. In the middle, to transition from stone to wood, I'm putting in a plastic deck board. This will also serve as a threshold to allow a garden tractor or the cart to drive in and out without messing up the border. Lots of tips and tricks throughout, to make your work go a little smoother than mine did. ****Some of my favorite tools and gardening items**** Radius Garden *”Root Slayer”* Shovel https://amzn.to/41GjPRq Kukri Design Machete https://amzn.to/3uUx593 3 Pack Leather Work Gloves (hydrahyde) WelllsLamont size Large https://amzn.to/48vqH6Z Fiskars Bypass Pruning Shears https://amzn.to/41DMbvJ Corona LG3720 LG 3720 SodPLUGGER, Red https://amzn.to/47cZTXy Edward Tools Hoe and Cultivator Hand Tiller https://amzn.to/3NJXgFI True Temper 6-Tine Pitchfork https://amzn.to/4bzHdEO Located in Summerville, SC, where the line of Zone 8B and 9A goes nearly straight across our property. So what to do? I'm going to try growing anything I can get away with from zones 9 and maybe 10! Might be getting some guava, papaya, and even mango’s to try to get them to grow and thrive in our little food forest. I have watched days to weeks worth of YouTube videos on Back to Eden Gardening, wood chip gardening, permaculture, planting guilds and many other styles of gardening. I’m doing my own thing but still following what I’ve learned from all of these great youtube teachers, as well as grow a regenerative and organic garden. But seriously, a big thank you to all the creators I’ve been watching that have been outstanding at teaching me. I can only hope my videos continue to assist others and show that anyone with the willingness to try this, you can do it too! Clicking on these links is part of the amazon associates program.
