caterpillars?

My plum trees did not produce last year. I think the problem was that we had so many caterpillars eating the tree bare. Is there anything I can do now to prevent this?

Willow chips

I got a nice load of willow chips...they are quite white and fresh! Can I use these woodchips as mulch right away or should I let them compost first?

Gardening tools

I think I saw Dan use a hori hori knife in one of the videos. I see there are quite a few different ones available on Amazon. Any recommendations?
