At some point in history a fire had gone through, some logs had a lot of charred on them. Darren had already been in there mulching all the little stuff. He said it was an impenetrable jungle of locust saplings 2” and smaller
If it was impenetrable how'd yall get anything done? Just kidding, just kidding. I'll show myself out. Edit: Someone's gotta give ya a hard time. You got it way too easy on that one!
They will sprout new growth from the stumps. Go back in a few years and it'll be saplings galore. About a year ago a lot was cleared near me and a lot was black locust/ Cleared right to the dirt, stumps and all. Six months later there were all the little BL sprouts popping up.
My load today was 5,000# and yesterday’s was 6,000. And the pile I got. Ended up being around a 60/40 split I’m guessing, maybe even 70/30. But I’m quite good with that, it was his score and his machines doing the work. I’m just tickled to have finally scored some BL! And what a score it was! Gonna be a tough act to follow in this country.
Yesterday, finally getting around to processing the logs. That’s pretty much a full cord on the truck. And I’m guessing I’m only 1/3 of the way through the log pile.
Nice when the bark just falls off BL. Takes up too much volume IMO. Just the schmutz under there can be messy. My ideal BL scrounge is barkless off the ground washed clean by mother nature. Takes five years for that to happen though.
