ash woodland

[plippy]

as some of you know ive been coppicing some ash for logwood sales.

 

i have a fella who regularly walks his dog down my track and has offered to do some burning and general dogs body work down there for me,his payment is that he said he's happy to take a small trailors worth of logs home every nite.

 

my question is should i have a non experineced person down there or should i just tel him to move well out of the way everytime i fell a tree?

 

he used to work as a manager for kent county council as a pen pusher, so should i reap the benefits of cheap labour and make him sweat or not?

:lol:thats wot i thort, he's retired so he's available all the time. for his age he's pretty healthy so may av to make him sweat a bit but he is a nice old fella and he's bort 2ton of cord wood of me and he's cut it all up himself and split it so good for him:thumbup:

Make sure you tell him to run sideways, Not length ways when the tree comes over

payment in kind = employee = insurance

I was just thinking that.

 

What if he was to do bits of woodland management, in your wood, as his "hobby" and clear small amounts of timber to keep the woodland "tidy"?

[18 stoner]

Think i would give him a go, sounds fit and keen enough.
