Woodchips

Mulch is a material used to cover the soil. Most mulches are organic (woodchips, unfinished compost, straw) but inorganics such as lava rock or limestone can add an appealing, low maintenance touch. Good mulch conserves water by reducing moisture evaporation from the soil.

The woodchips the City sells are made from tree materials brought in from residential and commercial sources. The Forestry Division manages both the influx and distribution of these materials, and may be reached at (785) 832-7979.
