[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1261864, member: 4362"] This is true but not to the extent you are suggesting. The microbes that consume the wood require nitrogen. It is always beneficial to have as much organic matter in the soil as possible even though the microbes consume nitrogen. It makes your soil much healthier, much more drought tolerant and these microbes release beneficial micro-nutrients that your plants require. So if given a choice, I'd grind everything into fine chips and have them evenly worked into the soil but that's not practical so I do as you say - push it all up and spread it later and then try and add organic matter through grazing and the planting of cover crops.
