I have been doing the back to Eden gardening in lower central Michigan for five years it was done over clay soil I started with wood chips that had been composting for five or six years this wood chip method works great I keep adding wood chips to the top of the composted chips when needed.I have added some compost to the new wood chips to help them break down better. I have tested the soil for nutrients and the only thing I have had to add is a little nitrogen. I get a great producing garden that is organic and easy to maintain.
