rashing good practice or not?

[Tony Ford]

Company have asked us to rash up all arisings on site but I was told years ago on my course rashing is not a good practice and I shouldn't do it, so if there are any trainers or assessors that could let me no that would be great thanks.

Rashing???

If it means 'mash' cut it up in to little bits I don't see the problem we do it on utilities all the time

[penfold]

CJM don't you mean habitat piles?

[WillTimberlake]

We mash all the time on the railways as well.

Ever bit of bash I cut every rats nest I make is a habitat pile it's just trying to convince people it is that's the hard bit

Same here .

So what's the downside of rashering?

[woodwizzard]

We call it milling up. Don't have to go overboard with it. A nice little brash pile with the saw run through it to make it sit flat is far easier to convince people that it's a habitat pile.

 

Down side is it always sounds like chainsaw abuse and always make double sure that's what the people want. If you have ever had to go back and chip a 6 month old mill pile, you will know what I mean

Bit extra work thats all . saw races a bit as there is not much load on it . just fatten it down in the rides and the forwarder drives over it .
