A few weeks ago, I saw an Asplundh tree company work truck hauling a chipping machine while I was driving down the road on my way home from work. On the side was a small sign (like a bumper sticker) that said "Free chips" on it. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. After all, I just recently bought a number of bags of wood mulch for transplanting the apple trees and blueberry bushes and then to mulch on top.
Could it really be true that they're giving away free wood chips?!?
After checking out the FAQ on their website, I found that indeed, they do!
I just put in a call to the local Asplundh office and found out that they do deliver to my area. After a few minute conversation with the pleasant receptionist, I have a delivery of a truckload (they don't do less than 1 truckload) of chips scheduled. The job foreman will give me a call before the drop it off.
I don't know how large a truckload is, but I'm guessing its a few cubic yards. With all the chips we'll need to put down for garden paths and around the new orchard plantings, I think I'll be able to use that without any problems.
