I find that the partly-compost small woodchips/sawdust I get from a stable has a
surprising ability to stop moderate rains from getting through to the dirt. I no
longer put it on my garden/berry beds, because if there are only slight or
moderate rains the dirt underneath stays dry. The chips/sawdust seems to have
the capacity to absorb an awful lot of water. So now I wait for it to decompose a
lot further.
