[quote:Anonymous Coward 70447160:MV8yOTgzOTc5XzUyODY2NjE0X0U2MkM2MDY=] [quote:Anonymous Coward 2324693:MV8yOTgzOTc5XzUyODY0Njc4X0ZCODdFNTIw] The wood chips can be any species including black walnut and pine. You must have leaf brances mixed in. This is where the nutrients come from. Little to no water is needed. Watch "L2survive" youtube channel. He feeds his chickens garden and yard waste and adds chips. Every year or three he screens a layer into the garden in the fall. Layer everthing. All ash from heating goes into chicken yard, egg shells, kitchen waste, ect. Lay flooring construction paper over grass and use 6 inches of leaf/chip. First year or two needs blood meal fertilizer. Pull back chips and plant in soil, plant gets half a foot, push back chips. Every fall add 6 inches until it builds up. Then as topping if wanted. Continue layering chicken yard soil in garden. The PhD's came and measured the soil. It's 10x - 50× above baseline in nutrients. [/quote] Not black walnut. That will kill your plants. As indicated, black walnut leaves probably give off little juglone. But to be on the safe side, it is best to rake up the leaves, and to avoid using the bark or chips as a mulch, except around plants that tolerate juglone. Keep leaves and other black walnut debris out of the compost pile, too. http://www.extension.umn.edu/garden/yard-garden/trees-shrubs/toxicity-of-black-walnuts-towards-other-plants/ [/quote]

I was working on a project about compost, and came across this wonderful documentary named: "Back to Eden".
In our World today, we often complicate things.
Our nature is amazing, and we could learn a lot just by watching, and copy what it does.
Paul Gautschi, the gardener in the film, refer a lot to the Bible and God, but the science of this gardening method will fascinate you, religious or not.

The music "Eden" is really good too, I have already listen to it several times
(can also be found in the very end of the film).
