My husband just cut a couple of large branches from a tree (2 limbs blocking solar panels) so I'll grab some saw dust.

Probably know this already, but dry that sawdust out before you prep with it. it's too wet when it's still green.

Ha. I almost wrote that in the post, then thought, everybody knows live/wet wood must dry/season.

Then again, some may not, so thank you for adding it. I'm probably used to it as we use firewood late fall into early spring. Anything to use less electric and clear fallen trees in the property woods.

But how many used the magnifying glass to set fire to paper airplanes and toss them out of a 2nd story window?
