Start of the wood stack (12 Oct 08)
I've now started stacking two foot logs to dry for next year. I'm using corrugated iron sheeting to keep the rain out and some galvanised iron to keep them off the ground. Of the species growing in Bridgewood, ash is the best firewood ... but I'm not planning to fell any of the ash trees. However, I am felling a lot of the hazel understorey to clear and widen rides, and some of the hazel bushes have one or two decent trunks which should burn well.
