Multiple years ago I did a test in my garden where I covered half the garden in woodchips and used the Back to Eden notill gardening method. Two years later, I did a soil test and was shocked by the results (they weren't what I expected). Now, a few years later, after speaking with Paul Gautschi himself, I finally learned what we did wrong.

Read the blog post before you use woodchips in the garden to avoid the same mistakes I made: https://melissaknorris.com/woodchips...
