@fleeky not big chips like I make when using chisels. i do use finer shavings that i get from the thickness planer and the table saw. i could use the bigger chips but i do not make enough consistently and I do not want to store them until i have enough because of space. bigger shavings would be better in this garden because the wind picks up the finer stuff and whisks it away and it gets pretty gusty around the building when the fog rolls in. but i have no shortage of sawdust to replace it with
