Acidic wood chips...

[Ty Korrigan]

I dunno...

Le Francais all seem to be phobic about burning ANYTHING that is hardwood.

Same goes for woodchips.

In fact they treat it as a kind of toxic waste that is acidic and destroys their gardens.

However, I had a meeting about supplying wood chip to our local Town Hall who need in excess of 200m3 per annum.

Turns out Birch chip is .5 more acidic than Conifer chip and so a little lime is all that is required to sweeten it.

Just thought I'd share that snippet with you all.

I meant to say 'Burning anything BUT hardwood'...Sorry.

There is a new powerstation going up South of Rennes which will be burning biomass.

This could be good news for us and resolve our tipping issues.

Safe to say Ty I won't be running short of woodchip (or softwood logs)

for a long long time.
