Group:
How many inches deep must pine woodchips (not straw mulch) be when mulching
under fruit trees? I want the chips to last for 3 years, before having to be
replaced.
At 3 inches depth, how long would it be before weeds really start
recruiting/woodchips have already begun to decompose enough?
(Conditions: Northeast; mesic soil beneath; near full sun and some partial
sun)
Thanks,
Steve; NJ 6b
