As the title says, I think most of us use thick layers of wood chips to promote soil health.

When it comes time to sow seeds, how are you guys doing this? I only see people planting established plants into an area they pulled back some wood chips.

All I can think of is pull back wood chips to make a “trench” that exposes soil. Maybe place some finished compost in the trench to hold back the chips, then sow seeds into compost? I don’t really like this method because I don’t necessarily always want rows. For example, I want to scatter my lettuce mix seeds across the surface of the soil for a dense planting.

Any tips, tricks or advice appreciated.
