Comment: Cool video reed3v!

Ever since I heard about the "Back to Eden" method with the woodchips, I've wondered how it might compare to the traditional method of putting the wood ashes from the cookstove in the garden like Dr. Wallach said used to be done. Dr. Wallach said this helped replace minerals and trace minerals in traditional diets. I wonder what the comparative advantages are with each method.

Woodchips:
- erosion control
- time release of nutrients

Wood ashes:
- more readily available to the plant

hmmm...

*Edit*
I wonder if there is a way to use this method on a smaller scale for container gardening. It would be nice to be able to take your garden with you if you have to move.
