Mulching question

[Jardack]

When we had our tree pruned we asked to keep some of the chippings for use as a mulch.

So now I have a black dustbin full of apple tree chippings and I am not sure when & where best to use them

I can't keep them in there for long as I'll need it for me spuds

Will they be ok on the veg patch or shall I keep them for the bed under the tree?

Thank you and apologies for coming back with more questions

I'd suggest putting it where you want to suppress weeds jardack - maybe around your bulbs and plants around the apple tree? Or somewhere that gets more light and will be more prone to weed growth?

I'd also use it as a weed suppressant under shrubs or the like. They will rot down, eventually, but are a little coarse for planting in.

Thanks both, I think round the apple tree is the best place as the other large bed already has weedsuppressing stuff down.

Assuming the sun stays out I will do it later = at least that will hide the new pathway

Doesn't go far tho does it ;D I thought I had loads of it and that I'd have some left over but I could have done with more!!!
