the shredded pieces of wood has been spread in the garden 2 years ago for keeping the weeds of my flower bed. I know they are no treatment for the disease. Any suggestions?
I don't recommend using the bark from the tree if it was infected. Here are some articles on chestnut disease that may help:

These chestnut trees are about 8 months old started from seed. I don't know exactly what kind they are. The leaves started getting brown patches on them. Hopefully I can get some help in identifying what the problem is. Thank you Mike
They look like they need to be moved into larger containers. Chestnuts are large trees and will need to be accommodated for growth. They also need acidic soil which they may not have. When you upsize, mix the soil with about 1/2 sphagnum peat moss and 1/2 potting soil. You also can buy fertilizers for acidic plants that will help.
Brown edges also can indicate too much or too little water. Increasing the amount of soil will help with water retention.
I have a chestnut in a pot that I didn\\\'t get in the ground before frost. Can I keep growing the house or should it be put in dormancy for the winter, Like in my celler
They will need a dormancy to remain healthy. For dormancy of an American chestnut tree in a container, follow these steps: Begin by choosing a suitable container with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. Fill the container with a well-draining soil mix. Place the American chestnut sapling in the container, ensuring its roots are adequately covered with soil. Water the tree thoroughly and place the container in a cool cellar with a temperature between 32-40°F (0-4°C). Monitor the soil moisture regularly to avoid excessive dryness. During dormancy, limit watering to prevent root rot. Check the tree for any signs of pests or diseases, and apply appropriate treatments if needed. When it's time for planting, gradually reintroduce the tree to warmer temperatures, acclimating it to the outdoor environment before transplanting.
