Hi, thanks for the initial replies, sorry for my delay getting back here.
We have over twenty acres, much of it forest. There are dead
trees all over the place.
The deciduous wood goes into the stove or gets chipped, mulched, composted.
Coniferous wood is a problem. It's too acidic for general compost although some
plants must like the pH difference. The wood creates creosote build-up in stove pipes so it has limited use, and outdoor, as firewood.
So I'm wondering just what-all that type of wood can be used for, because I want to recycle it.
I've got more dead spruce in the bush than I need bird feeder posts and flag poles, although I plan to limb those and put them near the road to see if there are any takers.
But oh, that pine, pine everywhere big and small, standing and fallen. True, they make great lightning rods. But I don't want to.
I believe there is a use for everything, even old decayed pine; I need to believe that all that work sawing, limbing, dragging, piling, chipping, could lead to something practical. I can't believe that the only thing that can be done is to pile it or hide it someplace where it just rots.
Thanks for any leads or brainstorms.
