wood chippings

I hope no one will be thinking of putting any wood chippings or sawdust,
that has been put up for offer recently, on their plots.
I can think of no easier or quicker way to ruin the fertility of your soil
than to put on untreated waste like wood chippings.
It is also the best way to put the dreaded club root disease into your plot.
It was estimated once that it would take half a barrow load of lime to 
every two barrow loads of chippings to make the chippings safe from
being a club root carrier mixture and then only after it had been left to
rot down for two years.
   also remember, if you only intend to use them for a path,the next tenant 
might not want a path where you want yours.
best let the chippings lie where they are.
much safer all round!
  same with the any manure that has wood chippings or sawdust with it
best leave well alone.
after all why is this kind of stuff always offered free?
its because the people who offer it cant sell it .
believe me they would if they could.
This is not knocking the town hall for their good intentions but i thought
i would put my thoughts on the subject.
hope no is offended there was no offence offered.
