You can never have too many wood chips & I've got plenty of places where it can be just dumped. Lots of overhead power lines around me & Energex trucks chipping trimmed gun trees. My hope would be that I get a load of that.

A while back I bought composted green waste from the local refuse centre. Never again. Lots of shredded plastic, glass & I even found a AA battery. It took years to get most of the garbage out.

It's more the waiting that concerns me. 40 bucks for a ute load of hardwood chips allows me some flexibility & is a pretty good deal if I get 4+ kgs of nice mushrooms.

Thinking I might mulch and inoculate around some fruit trees to get through the dry spell that's coming. The mushrooms will be a bonus.
