Will supplementing new wood chip garden with Urea fertilizer help maintain nitrogen from wood chip depletion and perhaps help wood chips breakdown quicker ?
( We do no have chickens to fertilize our wood chips, just compost/manure underneath )

Thanks,
Ronald

Getting ready to start first no till garden. According to Paul's website we should lay news paper down on the grass, then lay compost, wood chips and then manure on top.
Is the newspaper put down to kill the grass ? If so can I simply rototill the top inch or so and remove the grass and then by pass the laying of the news paper?

Thanks for any help,
Ronald
