My avocado orchard is LOVING this! Plus, every time it rains I save $100 on my water bill

I was out yesterday in rain gear and fishing boots digging some run-off trenches and clearing debris. In September I put down 4 inches of new wood chips in the orchard (an avocado necessity in dry years). We didn't get enough light rains to soak it down and settle it into the soil. Yesterday about a ton of it washed down the hill. Dry wood chips are easy to spread. Wet wood chips break your back!
