bonfire by far the cheapest

 

 

It’s in the wood. I doubt they will be that keen on that idea. But that’s what I’d do..

Obviously you need somwhere with enough space lest the heat damage nearby trees and you only need ~70C to damage the bark and cambium.

 

Also it is best done so the ground is not scorched, in a burn barrel on 2 bricks or an old trough/iron bath etc.

I’ve been thinking for a while that a set of these on a digger could be useful for a quick mince up of stuff like that. The less mechanised version would be tie my dog to it while I’m doing something else. He’d turn most of it into splinters and pull out the big bits to nip up with a chainsaw.

Hard to say from pictures but if you drag out/sned up the larger diameter ones you can see on top with a  chainsaw. them, the rest might mulch up ok with the brushcutter esp if  its gone half rotten

 

 

 

Using the oregon mulch blade type

Remove any low stumps, drag it down the banking and run a saw through as much as you can to compact it down.

 

Either burn it or just let nature do it's thing providing it stays wet the bugs will do their thing over the next 12-18 months.

 

You could chip whatever you can but it's obviously been chucked over a wall in the past into a tangled mess.
