Good in compost mixed with grass clippings

I may do in future. Branch logger currently just a personal purchase. I'm allowed to sell 2m3 but I'm assuming the exempt stuff doesn't count towards that

Thanks! Bonfire society thing...

You're allowed to fell 5m3 a quarter - this is nowhere near that amount (and a lot of it is under 8cm diameter so exempt anyway)

Felled a few decent sized alder (big for me) as well as some willow, birch and oak. It's soaking in that part (and some of the stuff was cut on the smaller of my two private islands 🙂). This alder was planted 11 years ago The branch logger does choke up on the brash but it does the job. Got 6 nets out of the smaller stuff - would be really useful to be able to swing the bag chute out of the way as I think it would help with jamming. The arisings help grip in the mud anyway

So it will die anyway? Loads have been attacked in a similar fashion

Bark almost completely stripped yet there are new buds ready for the spring on all the twigs, which are still green when I snap them. I thought ring barking a tree was enough to kill it (although how cork oaks survive I don't know either)?

This year's is impressive too but I won't spoil the surprise

My bonfire site is covered in thick vegetation. I get the impression your opinion will not be swayed and I suspect we're veering away from my branch logger review a touch

Methane is an even worse greenhouse gas! Biochar has been found in archaeological records - it doesn't break down that fast

I think the attraction of biochar is that it doesn't break down as quickly as wood so keeps the carbon captured

They soak it in compost tea. Check out the prices in a garden centre - not the worst product to sell, especially if it's just the bits you sieve out of bigger charcoal

People are interested in improving awful soil and it's one way of improving it. It's supposed to be charged with micronutrients before putting in the soil. Not a bad use of otherwise waste stuff
