Paul uses raw arborist woodchips in his orchard

Paul mentions that in 1979, he first added straw and sheep manure to his orchard but then switched. He added 12 inches of fresh arborist wood chips to his orchard to compost in place without tilling and the waste from his woodstove. He does not add chicken manure or other fertilizers to his orchard.

The documentary shows the results of a no-till wood chip mulched orchard after 30 years. When you start a Back to Eden garden and/or orchard you won't see similar results after one season. It will take some time to see results.
