A few years ago I heard about Chip Drop, a service that connects homeowners with arborists. You offer to take a truckload of wood chips, the arborists get to unload their goods without driving them to the dump, and the environment is happy for both of you. I initially thought that it sounded kind of iffy - what kind of garbage were they going to dump on my driveway. But I did my first Chip Drop and I was hooked. Back then I only had 10 fruit trees and four garden beds in my yard. I figured I would see what I could do with that mulch, between topping the garden beds and mulching the fruit trees. I was surprised at how quickly I was able to spread out a load of wood chips.
