| Well...we are hn so we use a website https://getchipdrop.com/ Tree surgeons/arborists are always trying to get rid of chips An acre? Charles Dowding is a market Gardner, not a farmer, but he has done it on a scale of a few acres. His compost is a mixture of 1) homemade. When you are trying to expand a plot growing stuff to compost can help. Grass clippings, waste from the garden etc. This is a minor source of very good compost. 2) woodchip, see above 3) green waste. This is other people's garden waste, normally composted poorly by a local authority. You want it some time before you use it so it can compost more fully 4) farmyard/ horse manure 5) spent mushroom compost. Actually I never saw him use this, but it is very common. One farmer I saw said the secret of no till is 'other peoples carbon', you are correct. But some people have carbon to get rid of. |
