Every few months I'd get a reminder, asking me if "still need chips?" but I never actually got any chips. Until this July, when I finally got a drop. And oh boy, did I get one! Click the thumbnail for a full-resolution photo:
It's pretty nice stuff. Not a lot of leaves, and pretty regular-sized chips. But it's in the wrong location. My garden is actually a 500' schlepp and 75' downhill of where the chips were dropped. It actually made more sense for me to load up 3 trash cans at a time and haul them in my SUV, around the block, and then down the bridle trail, than to wheelbarrow the chips down to the garden.
I did that at least 6 times, but I lost count.
Anyway, I put a thick layer of mulch between my rows of sweet corn and a big thick ring around each of my mango trees, and I'll just scatter the rest of it around after I pick my pumpkins in October. The corn is looking better than it ever has in previous years, and I have no weeds to pick!
So ChipDrop.com is the real deal, even if you have a wait a few years.
