Took a walk through the woodlot after the wind storm the other night. I’ve got one decent Alder the top broke out of and a couple smaller ones heading down that were dead to begin with. All in all, not too bad. The neighbor had several snap off in the wind. The small stuff that’s punky makes good kindling when it is dry. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
The moss isn’t so bad to deal with. It peels right off and what remains, makes great fire starter. What is a pain is the ivy that is taking over. It wraps tightly around the tree and actually embeds itself into the bark. It gets so heavy, it snaps the tree off or causes it to fall over if it is leaning much. Getting it off the wood is a pain, it doesn’t break down quickly so the only way to get rid of it after it is peeled off is to burn it. I’ve actually burned some in the wood stove. In order to split the wood, it must be removed, which takes some time. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
