Yesterday I post a video on why it make horse sense to quit burn the ambo of felled trees :
We often cut down Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree to make space for gardens , buildings or just because we want the grass to grow . I took out a lot of water oaks back in Florida because they were meter bomb . Water oaks moulder out on the interior , then light to the ground , often destroy business firm and vehicles . After two fall within a couple of eld , I decided I was done with them – no agency I would leave those trees to potentially go down on my shaver . Or my fruit tree diagram !
When I cut them down , I let the water shoots develop back out of the stump , then I would cut them to eat to our laughingstock . later on , after I got rid of the goats , I would cut the shoots now and again and throw them around the fundament of my fruit trees to mulch and bung the soil . I never abbreviate them back completely or render to kill the Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree – I just took some and permit the repose produce .
With some trees , such as black locust , mimosa , ice cream bean , paulownia and others , bacteria on the roots of the tree diagram produce N and the farewell themselves are often load with it . rather of burn the stumps , glean the tops like I do in the video . Chop and dip ! devoid fertilizer and mulch at the same sentence . Some “ invasive ” tree actually make groovy food for thought for the filth .
This is one of the methods I wrote about in Compost Everything ( https://amzn.to/2Ph44Kp ) . Since I seldom have enough compost , I like to grow tree diagram and works that make a lot of biomass I can drop on the ground . Think “ unripened manure , ” except with tree or else of annuals .
When we get our own land I plant to grow money box of trees and plants that I can cut and drop again and again to build dirt , suppress weeds and mulch my plants .
Fast - rise trees can be a pain from one point of view ( IT WON’T DIE ! ) or a approving from another ( IT make SO MUCH GOOD COMPOST ! ) . There are times to take podium , but not always .
Other reasons to let trees regrow :
Firewood , via coppicingStakes for the gardensA living trellisFood for livestock
And there are certainly a few I missed .
It ’s not a square rule for the age , of course . you may incinerate stumps if you want or need the space . Think about it first , though – there may be an opportunity you ’re missing .
