Got a load of wood chips from the local tree trimmer. And managed to get most of it spread out before the storms hit.

Were those chips treated for termites?

No these a fresh chips in spect my place for termites at least once a year. I use to do that for a living
I hadn't thought about termites, though I did receive a truck load of mulch that was loaded with TICKS!
That was a real horror show!
@Leafhead
Yikes! Sounds awful. Natural compost/mulch is by definition the home of some interesting critters actively involved in the decomposition process...and their friends.... like ticks.
@bigpawbullets
Yeah. Not only was my dog infested, but my house too! I had the gross little bastards crawling along baseboards in every room of the house. I WAS LOSING MY MIND!!!!!
Two pounds of DE and a face mask took care of the problem, pesticide free.
Is your house up on little stilts?

It’s a manufactured home. I got the land and the home really cheap it was a fixer upper. I’m still working on it
@Donto101 oh, I thought you were going to say something about flooding or groudwater were you live.
@CraeftSmith we do have a lot of flooding that’s why I’m digging ditches and drainage ponds
spreading wood chips can be tough work, you did a good job!

Posted by ZsterI live in a very hard clay soil area and routinely time my ground work around softening rains.
Posted by LorajayMany of my shrubs look like they may not make it after our 12 days of extreme freezing weather but my Chinese quince is prettier than it's ever been. Perhaps it would prefer a colder climate.
