Teak wood chip as mulch

Hi,

I have some teak wood chips as part of wood work of door frames for my new house. I would like to use this as mulch and make a garden bed. Has anyone used teak wood chips as mulch? In the farm I have seen teak wood leaves long time to decompose, and similarly it is said that teak wood is resistant to termite attack. Please share your experiences


Regards,
Nandan

Thanks for that pointer
