Splitter "tailings'' clean-up [ with a fire :-) ]

I save at least a box or 5 gallon bucket worth for kindling to start fires.

 

I call it splitter chaff.

 

I push them into my compost piles, hate tripping on them.

 

Yep, about 20 to 30 trees a year.

 

Possible to get some pics next time you cut.

Some felling, bucking

I hunted in lodge pole in Oregon. Like "pixie" sticks
Hard to walk , a tangled mess that could barely walk thru
Elk go thru it at full speed

Long straight trees,
guessing they have lots of gotcha nub branches to take bites of your skin

 

Sounds like a good use for them. I have been putting splitting trash and chain saw chips into holes in my lawn caused by a dog that just can't resist digging. After a few months the hole is filled with a nice fertile compost.
