I have made piles of pine chips and also piles of chips from all other trees. The pine chips are best saved for enriching the soil around blueberry bushes. I also use the pine chips for the sunny john. The humanure compost is up on the ridge and will only be used for fertilizing Black Locust trees, which are only harvested for their rot-resistant wood. I have been bringing compost from my garden in Asheville, which is rich in worms, and mixing it with straw from a neighbors farm. I also add big bags of organic juice pulp from a local juice bar. In this photo, on the left of the compost pile is the non-pine chip pile ready for mixing in with all the veggie matter.
