Angelica in mulch; top dressed late 2013.
Just last week, we were blessed with a free landscaper's truckload of fresh wood chips that smell wonderful and have enabled us to cover all of our drowning walkways (it's been pouring in sheets!) and nearly every remaining un-mulched raised bed. Before covering the beds, I harvest plenty of rabbit, sheep and alpaca poo to ensure an abundant quantity of nitrogen in the healing compost tea that will be infusing the soil through all the weeks - most likely months - of rain. Are you interested in learning more about this approach? Please enjoy this FREE viewing of Back To Eden. In it, Paul (of Sequim, WA) shares how he has used this method to abundantly increase his soil fertility.
I'm sure I've watched it at least 5 times, and I share it with as many as will listen. It was so generous of him to share his knowledge freely and for the video creators as well!

It took prayer and time before we were blessed with the wood chips we needed, but it was the Lord's perfect way. We were first gifted with literally TONS of composted horse manure (in 2012) and that is a needed and beneficial precursor to the wood chips. After that top dressing, those gardens were the best they'd ever been; no more heavy digging, just wonderful loam. You'll learn why this works so well, when you watch this quality video for yourself!
