I have a section of the yard in full shade, a bit of English Ivy had
grown there poorly (Atlanta 7b Piedmont) and too much Wysteria. It's
currently cleared.

So, I've got a notice the power company is trimming in the area and
they are "giving" away dump trucks full of wood chips. It would be
mostly hardwoods here.

Can I cover my useless ground with them? Will I regret this? What
about the long term end result?
