Great article Tom, which raises some interesting issues that do need to be addressed, especially with regards to the use of lesser quality biomass for fuel. There has to be a shift towards it at some point, as we cannot just rely on virgin timber for all our future chip needs.

A very interesting article.

 

If the woodchip is being used as a mulch though is this not locking the Carbon into the ground and slowly realising it as nutrient source so therefore not wasted.

 

I agree that there should be more of a nationwide management of our urban tree cover and that local authourties should be given more money to maintain them.

I wouldn't say woodchip used as a mulch for paths is a waste at all.... especially when you consider the alternatives; ie paving, cement, tarmac, pressure treated boards and grass (that needs constant trimming with a petrol powered device).

 

There are also the beneficial bugs and mycorrhizal fungi to plant benefits.

Far worse is to burn the stuff.

 

cheers, Steve
