Small budget gardening (free). It's sometimes difficult to know if an amendment will help or not. In this case the wood in the middle of the pile has finally decomposed enough to show a positive affect on the growth of the grass in the middle of the pile. But the grass around the edges is not showing any improved growth. Well, undecomposed wood chips aren't a good source of nutrients. But I do think some nutrient release is happening where the white fungal growth is, in the center of the pile.
I'm going to "go out on a decomposing limb" and say that I could get a net benefit from using this in the garden if its applied in a way that won't be disruptive or detrimental. I'm aware of the many, many ways this could go wrong but I think I can avoid all of the pitfalls and reap only benefits.
The bs only stops when the basket drops? (What do tomato growers say?)
PS I'd love to try things Dave Chan's way but I'm not ready. His diary might be one to follow this year.
