John, what kind of wood chips? If they were hard wood, where did you get them?
I inoculated pine chips and they actually did OK. I threw a little hardwood chips on top after I read that pine wasn't the right medium.

My piles are are mix of trees -- I see green pine needles and also leaves (not able to identify the leaf type) -- from what I'm reading, this should be okay...yes?
After I inoculate the wood chip pile, how long before I spread those chips to beds?
