A guy at a nursery in Austin told me to never use wood chips around young oaks, but my boss swears by it. Who's right?

Wait, a nursery guy said no wood chips?

Some of those guys get weirdly religious about mulch. They can suck nitrogen from the soil as they break down. Just add a bit of fertilizer when you use them and you'll be fine.
