I found this amazing mountain of wood chips off Route 208 in Orange County that has been sitting there unattended for a couple of years. Well, I go there once or twice a day with four buckets and a pair of gloves. I fill the buckets and take them home, where I use them to winterize my planted figs. Good times.
I park my car in the parking lot of a nearby pharmacy, and then I walk a bit to reach the wood chips, but the effort is well worth it.
For all of the planted fig trees, I have estimated that I need about 10 trips or 40 buckets full of wood chips. Growing figs is not easy, but I love it.
