Glenn, thank you, this is an excellent point. Nitrogen is essential for feeding plants and breaking down the chips.
We use alfalfa meals and coffee grinds for nitrogen. Both are slower release. I also have a 50 lbs bag of blood meal sitting in the garage, just in case, if we even need a quick nitrogen boost for the garden. Have not used it yet.
Thinking about getting chickens also, but this is a longer term project, as Stan needs to build a chicken fortress first (too many predators in our area).
Drew, I am also very big on recycling, and I very agree with your statement.
Cheers,
Tatiana
