that is going to be one nice yard when you get done. It looks like it has incredible potential. congrats!


We have no problem getting things to rot. Yes, never stack wood near a building. I use a sprinkly ant killer stuff around the wood piles and the foundation. the previous idiot stored firewood in the house under the stairs. He took it with him when he left. he thought that indoor wood storage was an asset. IN the fall we load the cart and put enough to get the woodstove heated up in the garage. After that it will dry in the stove. Still haven't figured out how it gets soaked under a tarp...

good job Robert.

Well many of the stumps are already several years old and if I cut them off at ground level they would be there many more years. There isn't enough moisture in the soil for stump remover bugs to eat away at it. And the more you leave in the ground the more likely it is to be used by termites or carpenter ants.

I have 5 trees to cut down and I will keep for firewood but the stack will be as far from the house and shop as possible and the soil under and around it liberally treated with chemicals to kill termites and carpenter ants.
