    Thanks , the view in the back will be getting better, just a matter of momentum with me.
    As far as the chipper, we only shredded Aspen and something else, so green softwood. It rocked that stuff, so a good choice for me. I believe it might have problems with a harder wood. It's not a Pro-series chipper. We did get it to bog out, when using both chutes at the same time, but for the most part I couldn't be happier with that thing.

    I can see no reason you could not use aspen mulch. However, if you plan on using it for vegetables then for sure be aware that any type of wood mulch can mess with the acidity and also you will usually need to add some nitrogen (along with lime).

    Good advice, thanks. Don't know where I heard/read that Aspen mulch wasn't recommended. :salute:
