Default tree lopers mulch (NQ)

could be. Also, the newly chipped mulch nicks all the nitrogen from your
soil. Try a rotary hoe + clay breaking cowdung / leafmulch or gypsum to get
the soil friable. Then compost the beegees out of it with some mature mulch
then plant it out. What's good is going to a dry creekbed & getting a
trailer or 7 of the leafmulch from around the trees.
Good luck. Keep the area around your immediate house termite unfriendly
too. No wood lying about inviting the little joys.

G'day,
Starting over again with my entire garden, after house renovations etc,

here
in Townsville.
I'm looking at mulching the garden beds first, since the beds are hard dry
clay soil. Being on a budget, there's a tree lopper that sells 10 meters

for
$100 which is cheapest by far. Later on I will get a better mulch for
appearance sake as well.
My question is, tree loppers mulch an open invitation for termites?
