Materials

  • 4 yards of non-aromatic, deciduous wood chips. Such as: alder, maple, or poplar.

Process

  • Build the pile directly onto the soil in an area where you can avoid chemical drift, and where you do not get standing water.

  • Create a 4 inch layer of wood chips, and sprinkle a very thin layer of oats. Spray with water and/or the Soil ProVide/Soil ReVive mixture.

  • Repeat this process until the whole pile is built up.

  • Cover the whole pile with cardboard, making sure to secure the cardboard so it doesn’t blow away.

  • Let it sit for 6 months to a year, undisturbed.​

Application Rate

50 lbs per 1000 square feet OR approximately 2 yards per acre.
