We here in Ohio had a terrible ice storm before Christmas. Most of the
trees in the area had substantial damage. We are having our debris
ground up by a tree company. My question is can the ground up tree
debris be used as a mulch in my vegetable garden. The damaged trees
were different types of maples.

As a mulch it will need nitrogen added, lawn clippings are good for
this, otherwise it may draw too much nitrogen out of the soil to
break itself down. Other wise it should be good mulch. I presume it
doesn't include walnut trees.
