| Remove as much of the ground up chips as you possibly can. Fill in the hole with soil (preferably similar to the surrounding soil). Plant appropriate grass seed. Keep watered well until grass starts becoming established. |

| yep ... you will be hard pressed to grow anything in soil mixed with too much wood ... the wood.. as it rots.. will tie up all the water.. and use up nitrogen causing seed failure ... in suburbia.. way back when ... i would dump all the refuse behind the garage .... and then start digging some of the native soil and moving it to the area needed ... and when i was done.. i would shovel all the grindings into the hole... in a few years.. the grindings will be a wonderful compost... but not now ... ken |
