So what do you do with your planer chips?

That might be an option. I built a composting bin but just gave up after seeing just how much water it took to keep it going. I'm seriously short on green as I don't cut our grass (blue grama, more of a meadow type grass that grows to 1-1 1/2 ft. tall) but I suppose I can figure something out. Cheers, cc

Maybe not every day, don't want too much N. However, it does help to seed a new pile.

Drop 'em down a post hole along with kitchen scraps. When they get full, cap 'em with a couple shovels full of whatever came out of the holes. Make a pattern of the post holes fairly close together and pretty soon you'll have a very fertile planting bed which will have enough organic material in it to hold moisture really well. Sounds like that's important to ya. ;-)

You might want to dig those holes with a soil auger or the next person who comes up the driveway looking for a handout ^h^h^h^h^h^h^h work. Bill
