AVF CA HSP Video report Sep2108
Ananda Valley Farm trialed tilling wood chips into vegetable fields as part of a California Healthy Soil Program (CA HSP) grant.
This video summarizes the result from the 1st year in September 2018.
Contrary to much gardening and farming advice to not till wood chips into beds, we have found it can be beneficial with some caveats.
A summary page of the results appears at 20:00 minutes in the video.
As part of our grant, we need to show farmers have seen this video. Could you add a comment below with your farm name and whether you might try some of these techniques? THANKS

Great info! It helped me understand the similar results that I have received, plus what fertilizers to consider
Also, is the nutritional density looked at? Id be interested to see those test results.
Is there a video on the final results?
Here in Thailand I am using light woodchips-sawdust. I mix urine-water 1/15 and pour on chips- dust. Usually one-inch layers. Seems to work. I think it builds soils over the years.
I plan to till in about 2 to 3 inches of fresh wood chips in my entire vegetable garden this spring 2021. I am in Western NC and have very heavy clay soil. I will be adding and have been adding composted chicken manure mixed with bedding all winter.
Thank you so much for great information. If tilling some woodchips into the soil is not harmful, I will not worry about nitrogen starvation by wood chip mulch.
There are so many videos on YouTube about gardening. But I do not need pleasant music, good scenery or oracles from various gardeners. What I need are experiments and results like this video.
This is truly a fantastic video. Thank you for the work you put into it and for the excellent delivery.
Dusting around transplants with DE eliminated the problem of bugs chewing through my new plants.
BTE Paul Gauchi never said to till in the wood chips .
You just place them on top of the soil.
God layers ! No tilling needed! You are wasting time and energy!
Thanks for such a good video. I visited your farm once or twice the first year of your operation. It is good to see the progress you've made. I now have a mini-farm in northern Ohio and will definitely consider using wood chips.
I have been debating tilling in 6 inches of hardwood and cedar chips to a garden we let stand idle this year because the chips were new. We live in zone 7 in upstate S.C. and are trying Ruth stout in one bed just over untilled soil and in another bed that we are going to till prior to applying the hay. I have been debating tilling in the chips and watching this video has helped me decide to go ahead and till in the chips then I will apply 12 inches of hay to the top to aid the decomposition of the wood chips. Each bed is about 2500 sq. Ft. I have also covered 5 4 foot by 30 foot raised with 4 inches of wood chips with mixed results. The wood chips kept the weeds at bay and greatly reduced the water requirements but there was an extreme increase in insect damage that I can only attribute to the wood chips. Thank you for the affirmation to go ahead and try tilling in The wood chips.
Thank you for sharing this video. We are considering using wood chips for weed suppression in between rows at Snapping Turtle Farm in New Jersey and then tilling in wood chips at season end. I look forward to seeing more on your project.
Had mixed results with this ~20 years ago but had different objectives and no access to sorted chips. Work I was doing was for Richerson Family Farm in Davis, CA as Shade Tree Mechanical. More recently, my farm manager tried chips again at my Fresh SPIN Farms in Davis while I was in Hungary. Chips were pervasive, but again we were using mainly for weed mulch and access paths, so not fertility.
I'm very interested to see how you progress with cutting back on compost as we have quite a bit of wood chips here in Vermont, not as much access to properly made compost.
Very interesting trial. Sorry I can't make your field day.
Thanks from Millsap Farm in Springfield mo. We’ve added a lot of woodchips, but always been careful about ageing them first; this encourages me to try more fresh chips, and incorporating them
We are certified organic and located in western South Dakota. We have been talking about incorporating wood chips into our rows for a couple years and will likely do some trial rows this next year. Thank you for sharing your study!
We are a certified organic farm in the northeast zone 5 b. Very interesting study. Do you have the written document for review? Is the study limited to Ca?
We will host an outreach field day at our farm on October 20, 2018 at 11am. Location is Ananda Valley Farm Half Moon Bay, California.

Here is a link to the Cornell 15-year study using wood chips tilled into a vegetable bed.

They tilled in a thin layer "one-chip deep". Our study was to see how much you could do and still get a good first year harvest.
