Wood Time!

We decided to get our wood delivered a bit earlier this year. We usually get it at the end of Spring, but this year decided to not only get it earlier but to also let it season outside a bit longer rather then put it straight into the wood shed. Sooooooo AFTER getting badly bogged in the paddock and having to have a huge truck come and pull him out (no photos.....it seemed a bit inappropriate to take pics when l think he just wanted to go home and have his tea!!!!!)................We ended up with our heating for the Winter next year.
Whatever you look at it, it's a big pile...............
Best get started then l suppose..........................
Ho hum....that will do..............until tomorrow. l  am sure it will still be there!!
Just enough time in the day to load up the wheelbarrow with a couple of fast growing Evergreen Alder trees for future stock shade in the paddocks. (((Possible to do now without an 18hh horse with an 8 foot reach on him!!!)))). Barrow , trees, grow tubes (to keep the darn wallabies away), spade, mallet, staples, mulch..........think that's everything!
Oh dear.......................
Stand in the paddock and double check on Google that Alders DO love heavy water logged clay soil..................yep! They do! Thank god for Google!!!
 
Done!.... Protected, mulched and ready to grow...possibly 9 foot a year if looked after well!
Are you there yet???
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm l think it has a long way to go!
But one day........................!!!!
