I took advantage of some unseasonably cooler temps & free time to get started processing my honey locust. I have a few larger rounds that the splitter will have to be tilted to split. Then I have to get started bucking the log pile.
Big difference when its not hot and humid. Good that you had the time. Was it cut green and how long will you dry it? Looks like a perfect drying spot too. Wish I had something like that here.
I believe I cut it last spring. The days over the winter & spring this year that I had free, the wind was blowing at Mach 1 so I passed. It will sit for 2-4 years, the nice thing is the bugs have hopefully already done all the damage they are going to do so maybe it won’t get all powdery. Lots of carpenter ants in it. I need to get the mower & trimmer down there to get the grass knocked down.
I doubt there is a cord there, just one row about 16’ long & the ends are cribbed 3 rows deep, probably 2/3 - 3/4 cord with the cribbed ends. I think I made that pen to hold 3.5 - 4 cord but I don’t remember.
Much more betterer now, hauled the mower & trimmer down before the rain this morning. This is what happens when you don’t put up panels To keep these nosey beeches off the pallets. Pudgy was doing his part to help clean up as well.
Great set up JimBear With a fully sided pen like that, I don’t believe I would spend the time cribbing, personally. But YMMV.
The corn is spotty this year some looks great other not so much, we have had enough rain that the wet spots are rather glaring.
And the “I’m almost as old as Dennis Backwoods Savage so why not start sounding like him,” award goes to…
Used to wish for corn to be “knee high by the 4th of July” That era is long ago in the rear view mirror Now more likely shoulder or head high!
There is plenty shoulder high here...but there is some silage corn that is not knee high yet...here is pic of some from across the street last week...
My son & grandson were here over the weekend, I got a little help from them. The pen should hold around 5 cord.
