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
