Wood chips (BRF)
Fragmented ramial wood or wood chips.
Rameal fragmented wood, also known as wood chips, refers to tree branches and wood chipped using a wood chipper.
The benefits of wood chips
Rameal fragmented wood, also known as wood chips, is made up of tree branches and wood chipped using a wood chipper. This organic amendment is recognized for stimulating soil biodiversity by supplying young lignin to beneficial fungi and microorganisms. Wood chips are frequently used as mulch to protect young tree shoots from winter frosts and to create natural paths in woodlands.
Decomposing BRF provides soil nutrients that cedar wood chips do not. It promotes the formation of a rich humus that improves soil structure and health. BRF decomposes in 3 to 4 years, transforming into nutrient-rich soil, perfect for enriching garden soils without risk. It is recommended that wood chips be composed of at least 60% hardwood for this use.
The use of BRF
BRF is commonly used in gardens and nurseries as mulch to protect plants and shrubs from bad weather, frost and drought. It acts as a soil insulator, protecting roots from winter cold while nourishing the soil in spring. During hot spells, it retains soil moisture, particularly at the base of conifers or in blueberry fields, offering similar protection. BRF can also be beneficial for protecting the soil around any shrubs or trees on your property, including cedar hedges.

We prefer to use BRF or wood chips to create natural paths in our customers' woodlands. This gives the pathway a natural look while preventing weed growth and providing soil nutrients for the surrounding trees and shrubs. This method is both environmentally friendly and offers optimum walking comfort, far more so than gravel or rock paths.
