My gravel + other layers scenario is not a good idea because ?Yep.... and not a good idea.
The kind taht comes form chipping up trimmed tree branches?
Can you store a big pile of them...to let them age and move an inch or two into the run as needed??
So do you think it's a good idea to just put some extra (loose) dirt on top of our clay-ish ground, then a few inches of wood chips? And keep piling wood chips in when 1) it gets too wet or 2) once those break down or 3) it gets smelly?
Yes, wood chips from trimmed tree branches. Are those ok? I'm sure there's no way to guarantee it's from certain types of trees. Storing them is an excellent idea! Just put a pile of them in the yard somewhere and leave it open-air (so not covered with a tarp or anything)?
