Re: Wood Chips

Except for the veggies we harvest to eat, everything that grows on the garden stays on the garden. All plant residues get tilled back in come fall, including corn stalks. When the leaves fall we can add these to the garden. Grass clippings can also be added if we use a grass catcher. The idea is to put more on than we take off. If you happen to be a hardcore "Organic Gardener" you won't be adding fertilizer from a package, but if not, a little NPK from the store can sure make a big difference in plants performance. Hey the farmers who grow the stuff you buy in the store certainly use NPK.
