Oak shavings will not lower the pH of the soil. And, it's a good rule of thumb that one should never apply lime without knowing for certain what the pH of the soil is in the first place.

If the chips are still in fairly fresh condition, then you'll need to add extra nitrogen to the site to compensate for what the large population of microorganisms will digest while working hard to decompose those chips.

All of the plants you list will benefit from and not be harmed by some extra nitrogen and I agree you may very well need some due to the wood chips. Also agree to skip the lime unless you get the soil tested. The compost you added will be sufficient for that most likely.

So N can be added in any number of ways. You don't mention the size of the plot so you will have to do the math on this but you can work in (1) composted manure (not fresh), (2) blood meal, (3) used coffee grounds (your blueberries will love them too), (4) alfalfa meal/pellets, or (5) any synthetic nitrogen fertilizer.

Pick one, apply at the recommended rate, work it into the soil, and plant. Monitor the plants for any yellowing of new growth (means needs a little more N).

Good luck.

Nitrogen availability is dependant on soil temperature so any soil test for N may not be very reliable. The wood chips mixed in the soil will cause the soil bacteria to use a lot of the available soil Nitrogen to digest those wood chips so you should plan on adding about 2 pounds of actual N per 1,000 square feet.

Do you have any idea how deep into the soil the wood might be? A foot? Four feet? Be prepared for that area to sink a lot as time passes. As that wood rots it will keep sinking and might go on into several years depending on the depth.

Thanks so much for responding. I feel much better about things now, as I have been adding coffee grounds, as well as alfala pellets and a few bags of composted manure to my large compost pile (which was mixed last fall and added to this area).

The bed is about 25' x 25'. I will make sure to watch for settling.
