At one point I brought in a semi load that appears to have been carrying Fire Blight and I ended up losing twenty-five trees including fruit and flowering crab apples. I generally bring in and use between 25 and 50 yards of wood chips each year. I also find that at times one may have to be careful to make certain that the mulch hasn't crusted over into a water shedding almost impenetrable surface. My most recent source has been ground up pallets that are generally cleaner than some of the other sources. <br />Your gardens are marvelous and your photography spectacular!
