Back to Eden Colorado Gardening Experiment
Tips, Tricks
Update on July 1, 2013 on my experiment with the Back to Eden style of gardening with woodchips. Already I can see that the plants in the woodchips are doing better than the same ones in my raised beds full of composted manure.

You do WANT the Leaves!!! At least according to Paul Gautschi. You want the limbs the tree company trims off and sends through the shredder green leaves and all right into the back of their dump truck. Yo want green wood bark and leaves all mixed together. this mix will actually compost faster and better than if just dead wood was shredded Compost needs both greens and browns.

Great stuff! I'm doing this the upcoming season, spent all fall mulching the entire property. Whereabouts in Co are you? I'm in lakewood. I'll be watching your videos to get excited for it! Going to buy my seeds this week I think, looking for some drought tolerant varieties.
