Sustainable firewood

An earlier post referred to trying to 'take a yield' from our forestry plantations in the form of firewood.

The common practise is to 'cut to waste' when coppice pruning Eucalyptus globulous for a second rotation chip crop.  We stripped the coppice stems and stored them up off the ground to dry.  Here is the result 6 months later on my firewood table.

This will keep our fires going for the remainder of any cold weather.  It has been easy to handle - and burns well.
