....been doing some hedging along the edge of the field....started by trimming the long trunks out first before we lay the rest over....we've taken three loads of poles out so far and we are only about a third of the way along....chopping it all up to season for firewood, so we are getting a good start on next winters fuel....🪓🔥

....busy day today, we are still stripping the trunks out of the hedge in preparation for laying, and then logging it up for next winters firewood....this is our fifth load so far....🔥🪓

....it's very satisfying to have such a good start on next winters firewood this early in the year....and we still have more to process....going to need more wood storage space I think....🔥🪓

....the very rainy few weeks we have had has left the ground very waterlogged here, especially the area in front of the stage/ woodshed....because we process all of our firewood there it's got very muddy and because the ground is very clay here, it doesn't drain off that well....so I've dug a trench in front of the stage, put a sand layer in and a length of perforated drainage pipe, leading off into the hedge....I will cover over the top with a layer of gravel when I've been to the builders yard tomorrow....then a load of woodchip all over the area sometime later in the year....
