i wouldnt as it might contain ericasious chippings and this as you know would alter the soil PH
We've just been offered some too from a tree surgeon. Is there any risk of introducing diseases like e.g. honey fungus?
Experiment 3: to investigate the risk of introducing honey fungus in infected mulch material.This experiment was carried out in the field. The host plants were again Rosa laxa but they were not infected by honey fungus. Instead honey fungus-infected wood chips were placed in bark-chip mulch at various distances from the plant. After fourteen months the plants were harvested and checked for infection. Only 2.5 % of the plants were infected when the inoculum was placed close (5 cm) to the plant. In most cases the infected mulch material dried out without infecting the plant. The results indicate that infection can occur under these conditions but only at a low level.
