I learned what hog fuel chips are — 30 yards delivered today!

I learned what hog fuel chips were when I had 30 yards of wood chips delivered today! It is the byproduct of processing lumber, which was then used for steam engines to process the logs coming in.

Here it will be the base of amazing nutrients for the garden!
