See the daffodils and bluebells peeping up?
We have been coppicing and felling trees for use as firewood this week. We split the logs and stack them in the log store for two years so they are well seasoned when we finally burn them in the woodburner in the house. The poles are sorted and either cut up for firewood, put aside for beanpoles or for other uses ( obelisks, chair making, yurt poles, shelter supports, hurdles etc)
We always leave some log and twig piles as habitats for wildlife.
We shred the branches we don't want to cut up for kindling, and either add the shreddings to the compost bins or use them in the hen runs on the floor. The smallest twiggery gets burnt.
I love a good bonfire after a hard day of work :-)
The ash (when cool) is used on the vegetable patch or the hens to dust bathe in or is stored for later use. Nothing gets wasted at Moors Wood.
