RE: Taking a short break from posting to refresh my mind and work on projects on the homestead
Wow, that looks familiar! That is pretty much all I have been doing as of late. I am trying to clear room for a bunch of food-producing trees that I ordered from the Department of Conservation. My days have been filled with cutting trees, stacking usable wood to eventually turn into lumber, and getting rid of stumps (the hardest part). So I feel ya!
Yeah, it’s hard work without a tractor or truck. For the stumps I cut a bit below soil level with a chainsaw, and cover the tops. The pine rots pretty quick. The hardwoods give me a bit of trouble, but the few that I did cut are small enough to not cause too much work. I can usually chop their roots out with a sharp pickaxe.
