wood chips
Garden bed topping
Wood chips are small pieces of wood produced by cutting or chipping larger pieces, typically branches, logs, or lumber scraps.
They serve various practical purposes: as mulch in gardens and landscaping, as fuel for smoking meat or heating, as bedding for animals, and as raw material for paper production.
The size and texture vary depending on intended use—coarser chips for playgrounds and paths, finer ones for smoking food or composting.
