Why? Use it now. Wood chips make great mulch. Just don't add it to the soil. Put it on top. Don't believe the myth about wood chips robbing nitrogen. It's nonsense.

i would let it set for a month or two ... to let the green decompose a bit...

besides the fact.. that will make it sept and you wont die throwing it around the yard ...

the problem with too much green.. is finding... large bare spots.. in a few months ... where you ended up ONLY throwing leaves ...

work smart.. not hot ... lol.. [101 heat index today.. in C.. thats darn hot ... lol]

The piles are steaming away, that's why I thought it best to let them sit for a while. I'm planning on using it for mulch and making paths. Thanks for the advice. Marg

I personally wouldn't use it as mulch .I have tried it in the past all the weeds and poison ivy I got with it wasn't worth it and I let it set for over a year before using .

You are correct to let it compost a bit for the reason you saw...steaming piles of any kind are no fun in the garden.

Marg, I did the same thing years ago. Believe me you won't like how it looks in your gardens right now either. Let it sit. WW
