Thank you Ken ! That was my original postion . So Ken, what you are saying is that this mulch should not be used , or should be sifted before use due to the wood chips ?
My whole postition to start was why use a wood product . It makes no sense to me , so I thought I would try this experiment with the shredded mulch to find out if it makes a difference in the growth of the daylilies. Initially I said it would remove nitrogen from the soil as it is breaking down . Now we have termites thrown into the mix which only reinforces my original position that adding a wood product to soil or pots of soil is not advantagous at least till the wood breaks down into soil . I began by suggesting it should be composted first .
