Hi garden-wise people...I have to trim a bunch of trees in my backyard, and I want to rent a chipper and chip it all up rather than pay the local trash service to haul it away (garden refuse not hauled here unless you pay extra).
It's all deciduous trees, can I just chip it all into my rosebeds and yard and rake it into the grass, or will that harm my grass and roses in some way? I know there are some upstart oaks and maples in the group, so I was thinking maybe the tannins in them would not be good...
(Yes, I've got a brown thumb...
