Re: You\'ve chipped it, now what?

I thought that tilling them into the soil bound up the nitrogen. I scrape them off when planting or cultivating around the garden, but use them liberally as a top dressing mulch.
I also use chips as mulch for fruit trees, on walking paths, and they are great for keeping dust down on roads and trails in summer and to absorb some moisture from wet areas during the winter.
