I've been doing this for the past two years in parts of my garden and orchard. Seems to work good. I probably have 30 dump truck loads of wood chips stockpiled and rotting/composting in addition to that much again spread around my place. The brushing crews and tree cutters dump their chips at my place. One still needs to get a professional soil test done to see what if any minerals are lacking and add that to your soil as no amount of wood chips will supply that much concentrated minerals.
