Yes, a bonfire would be ideal. 
I’ll always be stuck with an area of brambles and rotten wood. 
They seem to have abandoned chipping now it’s not economical. 
When we sell the place in a few years it’ll undoubtedly be a minus to prospective buyers. 

Just run a mulcher through it and throw a bit of grass seed down at that point, it’ll be a flat field within a fortnight.

Anyway ended up getting €2380 for that waste wood that they chipped up. 
Which is nice.

nice touch that.

im not big into the timber and chip sales but i reckon that i probably make 20k a year out of timber and chip out of my yard which covers my yard rent then gives me a bit of walking around money from time to time

I reckon you could get a decent sized mulcher in and still have plenty of change.

Be easier to mark off areas for chip, log, firewood for next time round. 
Do Joslet not have a forestry mulcher?

In theory the separation thing works.

In practice for a few months of the year it’s impossible to pick and choose where in the field you tip.

You’re just lucky to get in and out.
