Now's the time to buy, how many times do we preach to customers about buying logs in summer and not wait till the last minute

When it comes to long term forecast they really are clueless, I remember hearing it was going to be another wet, cold summer, a week before that long hot, dry spell.

 

I would always try to have yourselves covered what ever comes, it would be great to cash in if it is another hard one, but IMO its not worth loosing your shirt if it isn't.

We have a council salt bin at the top and bottom of a steep incline on the road to my yard, people come from far and wide to help themselves then when we need it there's none left

Yep they do that on our road, all pinch it to grit thier drives and then theres none left to grit the hill down to the main road, then they moan they can't get out or in

Use a small gravel / sharp sand mixture in the wheel tracks. Much more effective traction surfaces like done in Norge.

 

Salt freezes again below certain temps and damages brakes/chassis.

Also damages trees if uses in high quantities.
