Hello,
I used a stump grinder to remove several stumps in my yard. I have a nice
pile of the shavings I would like to use as a mulch for my flower beds. I
need to know how long I should let the pile set before it is safe to use.
The pile is 6 feet in diameter by 4 feet high.
thanks
Bill

Wet them down, if they don't heat up or smell very resiny go ahead and
use them.
If they heat you can use them a few inches deep, if they smell resiny
or piney let them age a while.
