    Pine?

    I burn a little pine.....mostly hard wood by far. How was your maple syrup season this year with the weird warmth? A lot of folks had hardly any sap to boil.

    What Do You Do With The Ashes.

    We have chickens and use pine chips for bedding for them. I let it build up over time by adding more fresh chips on the top. A few times a year, I clean out the coops and put the manure/chip mix in a big compost pile. I mix in ashes from the woodstove to counteract the acidity in the pine chips...

    Harbor Freight 6.5 hp engine

    Folks have mentioned that they believe it is a Chinese made Honda clone...I really don't know. As long as it runs good an makes the tines on my tiller do some rootin' and gruntin', I'll be a happy camper. Should be here within 3 to 7 days which is perfect for me. Around here, we plant out...

    The topsoil in my yard is high in acid due to the predominance of pines. I mound it up...mix the wood ashes into it all winter long....in the spring i mix it all up with the composted chicken manure and kitchen scraps and voila...kick ass soil for the garden. Of course all the heavy mixing is...

    We burn less than 100 gallons of oil per year and only when it is chilly but sparkin' up the woodcooker would be overkill. so a little under 300 dollars for oil per year.....all my firewood is free except my cost to saw and split it and my wife and daughters like the house between 75 and 80...

    Firewood Seller Charged With Felony Theft By Deception

    We true New Hampshire yankees do not use terms like "face cord"..."Rick"....etc. We use 2 terms to describe legitimate quantities of fire wood. A "Cord" of firewood is a neatly stacked pile measuring 4' high by 4' wide by 8' long consisting of three "runs" of neatly stacked firewood measuring 4'...
