According to "Back to Eden" it is the minerals from the wood chips breaking down that are improving the taste of your crops.

I am happy to hear that

The juiciness of tomatoes is exceptional. The drawback is when fruit is left on the vine for too long, it will crack (burst). Also, the fruits are too juicy for sauce!

The only thing that seems to be struggling a bit is broccoli. That's strange, because kale does not mind the wood chips at all, and growing huge. I think broccoli would have benefited from some nitrogen fertilizer, but I was neglecting it. Will ask Stan to give it a liquid fish and kelp on the weekend.
