Mulching veggie beds with wood chips.. haven’t tried it myself, but doesn’t the high carbon:nitrogen ratio create a nitrogen sink that deprives the veggies of nitrogen?

Great question. I compost first and the mulch is more to hold water in the soil. I hadn't considered the nitrogen sink idea 🤔 They all get fed with compost tea through the season anyway so I think I'll counteract it adequately.
