In February, I posted a question to Ask Extension (#0162675 - the link to this question no longer works) if I could use wood chips that were in various stages of decomposition as a mulch on my vegetable garden. The response, in part, was "You can still use it as mulch in vegetable or landscape garden beds." I have since read in several places on internet gardening sites that one should not use wood chips on a vegetable garden for various reasons, including depleting nitrogen. My wood chips are from a dying maple tree that was cut down and shredded a couple years ago. Do you still think using these wood chips is a good idea?
