Facts About Wood Chipping

Wood Chipping is essentially breaking down large amounts of wood into smaller pieces with a ‘chipper’ machine. This practice is to recycle and reuse the wood, typically for mulching purposes, instead of discarding the green waste to the tip. Wood chips are made up of broken-down wood and are robust in nature, perfect for perennial plants, fruiting species and certain trees.

There are many benefits to adding a good quality mulch to your garden space, such as – conserving moisture, reducing weed growth, improving soil’s health, providing nutrients to the soil, garden aesthetic and also preventing soil compaction. Mulching is a process implemented to help promote growth and increase plant health. This garden method helps to regulate temperature, encourage microorganisms to grow and reduce soil compaction.
