I saw alot of bags of wood chips with a sign that read "free wood chips" outside of a business off of I-35 in Lake Dallas near Denton. I loaded up the bed of the truck and took them to their new home. As I was opening the bags, I noticed a smell. I did not think much about it at first, but as I went about distrubuting them around the trees, I got to thinking that they were probably treated. I decided to just use them around my ornamental trees and not my fruit or nut trees in case it was treated and leeched into the soil and perhaps could be taken into the fruit somehow. When the wind blows from the pasture, it puts off a strong smell. Today while I was mowing, a landscaper stopped to see if I wanted to mow small acreage for him with my tractor. We got to talking about the wood chips and he said that they could kill my trees and that landfills will not even let you dump treated wood. Do I need to bag up all of those wood chips? They should have had a sign that said treated wood chips instead of just free wood chips. I do not want my trees to die. Thanks, Mike |
