Nice.
I've been trying to keep up with the leaves falling. A moderate drought is helping with dry weather to do so.
My garden gets mulched with leaves during the growing season so they stay until Spring - just yank plant spoils out - just in case there are disease pathogens or bug eggs.
We've had nice enough weather for wood cutting.
Got another cord and a half this weekend ( half goes to my house, half to cutting buddy )We got three cords last weekend and 3 again this weekend. All nice red oak.
Needs stacking, it's raining now so maybe Tuesday/ Wed. All nice red oak for next year although this is all dead standing wood and is ready to burn now.
Why do you hate the ozone layer?
EPA stove and the wood would be releasing the carbon anyway during decomposition.
My backup heat is oil, I prefer renewable resources, thank you very much.
Besides, the ozone layer is/was impacted by man-made chemicals, not carbon.
I'm contributing to keeping oil carbon in the ground when I heat with wood where it belongs.
and the small amount of ash is good for the garden to help it balance chemically from the acid rain from power plants to the west of me making electricity for electric cars. :-)
