I wouldn't use mulch because it may be chemically prepped. There was a tree cutting service I use to get the wood chips from. I used a mix most likely it consisted of Ash, Birch, Oak, Pine, and Cottonwood wood chips. They were removing a cottonwood and they were 'glad' to give me the chips. In fact, they gave far more than I wanted and dumped a truck full right in from of my house..... Bastards. Oak chips I think would be great except you'd have to be careful of oak wilt, which is especially problematic with red oaks. The city Arborist told me that he never ran in to cases of oak wilt in the city parks and it was only problematic on people's properties. I asked him why that might be so and he theorized it was from people using herbicides on their lawns and told me the parks don't use herbicide.
AMAZING video! Just watched it last week, I love listening to Paul and how he speaks. So angelic and soothing imo. This so happens to be the first year of an extensive garden project I decided upon.
What type of wood chips did you use? Wood chip mulch? Bark mulch?

You want the wood chips to contain the leaves as well to have a good break down affect
You are trying to mimics forest floor
I see. I will have to search for a local tree trimmer who grinds it up and will be willing to sell to me.
