Hey there everybody
For folks who are unfamiliar with us, we’re a small scale plant nursery that follows permaculture and regenerative agriculture principles. We’ve used tons of wood chips over the years and we’re getting ready to receive more over today and tomorrow. What would you like to know?
Do you pay for the wood chips or do you have some kind of mutually-beneficial arrangement with a lumberyard/sawmill to take them off their hands?
Generally we don’t pay for the chips. We have relationships with a few arborist crews in the area and put in enough face time at Town Hall to be approved as a drop site for the town tree crew as well. Today’s load is coming from our next door neighbors, who are removing a few trees that present hazards to their house.
Sounds pretty win-win to me. Awesome you were able to arrange that with the city, too.
