| Both fresh and older solid wood Chips are colo'd by the Myc..Older chips should be pasteurized to eliminate compeditor fungi n' bugs...
HW Mulch can make up 20-30% of the mix ..Best to have a matrix of different sizes ..The larger chips provide a nessessary long lasting food source to carry the patch through the next season..
I'm sure some sugars are leached with the drain water from fresh chips but
shouldn't be a significant problemo... |
