Woodlovers outdoor first time - plans / ideas

Good evening shroomery.
So, I have some woodlovers colonising some grains (azures & cyanscens) from a syringe that appear to be clean so far. (I'm also cleaning up some cultures on agar)
My ultimate goal is to colonise a planter like this one with each strain. (I only have a small yard)

I have some oak wood chips that I am going to soak and PC and use the colonised grain to inoculate the Woodchip jars. Is it necessary to supplement the wood chips?
Once they are colonised I will inoculate more, larger, pasteurised wood chips, probably still indoors in a tub?
When they are colonised I will mix them with my pre prepared planters. ( I know I'm late but this won't be till next year now I'm just trying to get everything in place) and then wait.
My planters I plan to make now and have them outside adjusting to nature. My plan is to put a small layer of soil at the bottom, about 3-4inches. And for stealth and possible symbiotics plant in rhoderdendran and ferns maybe some grass etc into the soil then fill the rest up with some hardwood chips about another 4 inchs I got from a forest friend. Let that grow and next year mix in my colonised spawn.
So does this sound like it may work?? Any input pointers or advice welcome you've been great so far 
Also if you've got a better way of doing this or teks let me know, I've been reading ages and struggling to find much info.
Your help is appreciated

start your woodlover on grain/agar then transfer to soaked wood chips(not pasteurized or sterilized) in the planters and a tote in the garage or house. I feel like doing the suggested step of going from grain to sterile wood chips is a waste of time imo.

Cheers indeed!!! 
So far it's only one quart of grain I have, should I expand my grain or start small and go straight to the wood and then build it up that way? I think I've seen that done, it may have been you even. 
Thanks for stopping by

The guy I get the wood chips off, rekon he'd be open to suggestions 
Merry frickin Christmas!!! Loving your work lil 
For my small yard tho, you rekon one grain jar might be enough for the equivalent of six jars worth of wood chips for inside??

idk the ratios but this year I colonized around 18 gallons of chips off one half-gallon jar. Even that was overkill it took over the whole tote in like 6 weeks.

I'm sure I'll work some sort of ratio out 
Hey man, did you shake your grain jars? Do the recover just like cubes or do woodlovers not like it?
Your updates are looking fucking juicy as well man
