Never know when you need a hand forged iron ring to ballast your rope so you can throw it over the 5m high roof beam in the barn. Good thing I kept that.
Hoisted that sack of fresh woodchips up there, out of the way. Let's see if they dry like that or just get mouldy. Or drop on my head in a surprise attack.

Woodchipper experiment. Straight to bag. Worked surprisingly well, except for the bag filling up real fast.
I wonder if this will dry if I just hoist it into the rafters of the barn like that. Lets find out!

No mud in front of the barn this winter, thanks to the chipped spruce branches.
Spreading woodchips in all the mud areas works really well. Last year I was slipping around in the mud on that very spot.

#StarIsland a model of #EnvironmentalStewardship
#GreenGosport Initiative puts ideals into action at #IslesOfShoals
by Deborah McDermott, June 30, 2019Excerpt:
"The [wastewater] treatment plant is the last significant piece in the Green Gosport Initiative, named after the 17th century town that once existed on the island. For the better part of 10 years, Star Island Corporation has been working to become a #sustainable community."The initiative has included the installation of the solar array in 2015, which has reduced by more than 75% the amount of diesel fuel for the generators that once powered everything on the island. Electricity consumption has dropped by more than 35% by making a change to LED lights and purchasing energy-efficient appliances in the kitchen. All disposable packaging, utensils and straws are biodegradable, and there are bins everywhere that encourage guests to properly dispose of their waste.
"#Sludge from the treatment plant is dried and composted with waste #cardboard and #WoodChips, instead of being sent to a #landfill. The #composting program began in 2014, and last year for the first time, the first batch was ready for testing by the state. It was so clean 'we got approval this spring to use that product without restriction, anywhere. So this spring, we used it as mulch in the flower pots,' Simard said."

Dear #permaculture & #nodig folk, how are y'all handling _the spreading_ of #woodchips during a #drought? Rather not and instead waiting for moister weather, or do you rather water them before spreading?
I'm wondering wether their insulating effect is a problem on soil that's dry to start with. The first few rains here seem to have barely moistened the top woodchip layer, but haven't reached the ground.
Seems like watering soil before spreading any cover seems best + then watering some more?

So what are people's thoughts on using wood chips for weed suppression? I've heard that fungal decomposition sucks nitrogen from the surrounding soil, plus the nooks and crannies can provide ideal habitat for plant-nibbling pillbugs.

Rest of the day was mostly feeding branches to #HerrSchröder. The woodchips completed a little garden path but the larger share went into the mud pit in front of the garden, which is a right mess now after the concrete removal.
Some ancient hay from the barn floor on top of that and blended it all in with the rotavator. The idea is that this will improve the gloopy soil there and allow it to drain better. Tomorrow I want to compact it.

"A plan by the British government to burn #biomass imported from countries including North Korea and Afghanistan has been described as “bonkers”, with critics saying it undermines the credibility of the #UK’s climate strategy.
A bioenergy resource model, published in late summer, calculates that only a big expansion in the import of energy crops and wood from a surprising list of nations would satisfy the UK’s plan to meet net zero."

Prime Victorian dairy farming land is being bought for tree plantations aimed at producing pulp and earning carbon credits. Buyers include a German company and #GinaRinehart. Concerned locals are calling for a moratorium on tree planting and changes to land use rules to protect food-producing land from disappearing.

More tales from the #forest, with this close up of the remains of the #trunk of a wild #cherry tree which had died, rotted and snapped at about 1m50 height. I don't know how the #woodchips in the well of the #trunk formed, but presumably linked to the structure of the wood, and some kind of specific #weathering due to #contraction in the #summer heat, and #saturation in the #winter humidity.

"By the end of the year, #Victoria’s trouble-plagued native #forest industry will end – six years ahead of schedule.
At last, Victoria’s government has acted for the future. Preserving our #NativeForests is worth much more in #carbon storage, #water production and tourism than they ever were as #woodchips. "
Forest restoration will also promote a greater #biodiversity (not to mention creating green #jobs). -

It’s amazing how fast #fungus can colonize a #truckload of #woodchips.

In the last light of the day, I finished the distribution of woodchips between the new veg beds.
The idea behind the #woodchips is to encourage fungal activity. The #fungi provide (most) veggies with water and nutrients and get sugar in return.
To protect this fungal web is one reason for #nodig gardening.
Decaying woodchips compete with plants for nitrogen. So mostly it is not so good to incorporate them in the soil. -

Because it will soon be the time to start #seeds #indoors, I wanted to share my #PottingMix recipe for #seedlings:
#worm casting 1 volume
#compost 1 volume
#garden soil 1 volumeThe #vermicast keeps the mixture moist and helps the #seed germinate faster.
The compost is made with more #carbon and #WoodChips to give a good texture
The garden #soil helps the #seedling not have a #transplant issues.#gardening #gardens #nature #permaculture #GrowYourOwn #VermiCulture #Sustainable #worms
