Hi, People who have alot of land to clear so they can use it have to burn. I can't afford a wood chipper and don't have time to compost. Everyone has to do there best. It's not very encouraging to split hairs.

Sorry, not worth my time arguing with you. Marking my comment as thumbs down seems tacky and just a little bit pathetic. As far as ash being good for the garden...Only if your soil is alkaline. If your soil is at all acidic, which much coniferous forest soil is, you are just lowering the PH even further. Thanks for the thumbs down, appreciate it.

I never thought about that. How do you catch them? shoot them? I really want to make rabit stew.

This is great. I just subbed. I bought a homestead in Alaska and will be moving there soon. Can't wait. Now I need to go back and watch all your shows. Thanks.

You should keep at least one brush pile so that rabbits have a good place to live/hide.... unless you don't like eating wild rabbit.

Wouldn't it be more useful to compost plant material instead of creating ash which has no garden/plant use?

Got to love a good machette. Us lady folk can do some good clearing too...but it's handy to have some men around! I grew up clearing land and burning brush piles. It's not complicated work...but it is hard work. Thanks for posting. |
