Hi. Im in NC and I used both the same way you explain. I sign in online for free wood-chips in a local company and got a huge truck full; a neighbor had a tree service company cutting and chipping trees in his property and I just ask the supervisor and they dump the chips in my property; the electrical company was also chipping and I ask and they dump it also; and finally I have a guy that those a lot of work in my neighborhood cutting grass and cleaning the dry leaves during the fall, his machine mulch the leaves very well which prevent from flying with the wing and he dump them in my property; all works perfect. I just have a home small tractor with a trailer and I do all the hand-labor to move everything into my planting beds. I have amazing soil, and enjoy doing it.

I just planted my first green manure cover crop to protect and feed the soil for winter. I also added chopped dry leaves. I also cut my plants off at the stem/soil juncture to leave the roots to feed the living organisms in the soil. I am a Soil Nerd!

In east tx, the leaves are abundant and people bag them for you! Totally free and make excellent compost. Layer the leaves in with a little existing compost and green material so they wont blow away. We make 10 yards or more of high quality leaf mold compost every year for almost free.

Happenings today remind me of what my parents said about planting Victory Gardens in WWII. We talk about purchase limit signs in stores. My parents had ration cards. They couldn't go to 4 stores and get 8 if their ration card was for 2. Wish I were young enough to plant gardens and preserve foods, as I once did here. Yet, doing what I can to preserve what's still available in other ways. Hope more younger folks will take your advice now. Planning & planting time in the northern hemisphere is NOW!

We have heavy red clay in this area - NC). What you've recommended is exactly what works to help amend the soil. It needs organic matter tilled into the soil. If hardpan layer is broken up, and not re-compacted, even better.

Thank you for sharing and for teaching others. God Bless.

Awesome thanks and yes we had all better start a garden. Agree

[jessecrabtree]

Nice soil. I placed leaves in my empty compost bin last year. The bin is huge. Each trip I would walk on them and compact them. I didn't shred them. The pile was chest high when the bin was full. I thought it would take a few years for them to break down. Turned my chickens loose and they loved it. Just cleaned it out the other day and has the best looking black compost ever.

I live in North central Tx and have the red soil as well. My garden soil is now almost black and very rich. You are 100% right on the wood chips and the hay. I do the same but a bit differently as I use both every year. Each year I let the old hay the cows drop around the hay ring just set until the next year. Hay ring is next to garden. When It's time to work the garden soil in January or early February, I scoop up old hay and pile up. It is always well on its way to breaking down and is already mixed with cow manure from where they stood and ate. I then spread on garden followed by wood chips and till in. There is a great amount of organic material in the old hay and the wood chips help hold moisture in garden soil and break down adding even more organic material. Wood chips also keep the PH levels in soil from manure in hay from getting to high. I would add for those looking for wood chips to check with their local electric company or co-op as most of them have companies trimming the trees around power lines in your area and are looking for a place close to where they are working to unload each days wood chips. Really enjoyed your video.

Love your style man. You deliver a good clear message that is easy to understand and listen too. No need for drama like the other channels. Thanks and happy prepping from Somerville.

Thank you for your advice! I have lived in Texas for over 15 years and I’m finally going to start gardening again. I’m from Ohio and this dirt in Texas had me stumbled til now. Thank you
Yes, it’s going to get bad.

I compost leaves year round. It takes longer to compost oak leaves than any other, but it's worth it

[reneebrown]

This year I plan on adding about 3 tubs( large totes) of rabbit poo.

[rebeccalay]

I have a large backyard garden in North Texas. My soil is black, heavy clay. By turning in straw and dead plants without the seeds for about three years I got loose fertile soil.

Hello Alan, I live up here in south west Missouri on a rock pile lol. I’ve used wood chips in the past and the Bermuda grass just over takes it a matter of a few months. Now I just container garden so much easier and less maintenance. Great videos watch them all, happy gardening this year and great success.

Our city has huge leaf compost piles from the leaves they pick up off the side of the roads where people rake them in piles. They compost and the city gives them to citizens for free, in my younger days gardening I'd go get a pickup load bring home dump on my gardening area.... Check with your city street dept see if they have free composted leaves

[pinocolada]

When i ordered this years seed last fall, i made sure i would grow large Harvest crops, long shelflife crops, dryable crops and crops that can be canned.
Ordered multiple species of each seed. So i can try wich one does best on my soil and save seed.
I guess i made a good call last fall.

My garden is full of tall grass currently and just sprayed some weed killer over it. I'm planning on planting mid-February so have alot of work pending. My soil is sandy loam so I will see how this year goes. Cool video

[JeffEarnest]

Yes sir we had a lawn service and we had a little low spot that we dumped grass clippings and leafs for some time and it made some of the best soil. Full of earthworms plenty of bait plus great potting soil win win

[lada]

Watch your Hay, a lot of Farmers spray with Grazon,

[nirooprani]

Thanks!!!! Agree for the tree cutting service, they do give away the mulch. I just asked and they brought me a truck load of mulch and said to call them if I need more 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

This is basically what I’ve started to do in North Central TX. Pretty much the Back to Eden method. When I had a tractor, but hey get a lot of good exercise with the wheelbarrow. Should have listened a little longer for you to talk about Back to Eden. Yes everyone needs to be planting a garden! The Lord put this on my heart in January of 2020 and I haven’t looked back since! So glad I found your channel!
