Wood Chips

Wood chips are usually a little larger than bark chips. They will prevent evaporation and hold down weed seedlings. They make nicecover for container gardens and around trees and shrubs inside a retaining border.

• Do not run over them with a lawnmower. They can damage the blades and spit out sharp slivers.
• If you want to use them in your yard around trees, put a border between the grass and the chips to stop your mower from running over them.
• You can even add a little purchased bark to give rough chips a more polished finish.
