I will have lots of hardwood ash this winter from the woodstove. Right now we are clearing space for the goat shed so lots of pine trash logs in the woods that have laid there rotting. We are cleaning up to reduce fire risk too. And it just looks so much better without dead trees laying around.I use oak. Not sure about pine. Neighbor burns pine and I've used some of theirs.
I never did get my plants in today, i got sucked in to finding kindling wood and raking leaves to get rid of. Maybe tomorrow.
