I’m going to add onto my run and have noticed a lot of recommendations for wood chips, leaf litter etc. We have several “compost” bins where we put the clippings from crepe myrtles, river birches, weeds, camellias, mowed Bermuda grass & other yard debris. We chop it into 2-4 inch pieces, but it doesn’t really decompose well because we don’t properly compost it & a lot of it is twigs. There is some horse nettle in it. I don’t use any herbacides/pesticides or treat the lawn with seed or fertilizer.
If I run all that through my small yard shredder, could I use that in the outside covered run? Would this be the same as DLM? Are these clippings safe? What about odor? BTW, I use sand in my existing 4x4 coop & attached/covered 4x8 run with no issues. I’m adding on an additional 32 square foot covered run w/1/4” HW cloth because I neglected to follow the “build it twice as big as you need” rule
. Thanks!
