Undeterred by rain, this morning I gathered up a barrowload of debris leftover from the last firewood delivery and spread it over my latest garden patch, the one which I covered in horse manure earlier this week. That should provide a good dose of carbon to counter the nitrogen-rich horse manure. It will also be quite slow to decompose in part as there are some wee sticks of wood amongst the finer shavings. I recall reading in a NZ Organics magazine article that this is good for the structure of the soil. I guess it mimics natural forest conditions somewhat.
