Log uses

[4Shoes]

Mainly willow.

Build a Hugelkultur. If Possible extend it into your greenhouse to reduce watering in it also.


Essentially.


Dig a big hole. Lay in the Logs, rotten wood - any sticks laying about. Cover and fill any gaps with grass cuttings and green compost materials, kitchen waste. Cover with a few inch to 6" of soil.
Maulch over top.


Use web search for more info.

re VC comments on rotting willow.
Advantage of this is that willow will rot and hold more moisture.

how about wooden stepping stones?

I meant the ones which make mushrooms grow out of your logs!

But, maybe a cricket bat or two while your whittling knife is sharpened?

Ah yes - Leather on Willow - haven't seen her for a while.

Need a certain species of willow to make a cricket bat body. The handle should be made from canes.

Those mushrooms look a bit suspect....

Some great ideas, thanks everyone! Topping the charts at the moment is the hibernaculum, would be perfect installed next to my new pond!
