No, you should not mix redwood chips with garden soil to try to make it richer. The chips are acidic, and depending on the ph of your soil could make it too acidic.

Yes but it is a long process. It takes a few years for the soil to completely transform into premium soil. You also have to add nitrogen to the mix.
