Not sure we entirely agree with the expression "you can never have too much of a good thing" here at Struan Farm. Take firewood for example. Please! The storm damaged tulip tree in the Pet Paddock and the five poplars taken down by the road crew left at the back gate pushed us completely over the edge. Our firewood sheds are full, we're now stacking wood along fence lines to dry.
I was enlisted by John to find people who needed firewood. We've had three different parties come out with trailers and chainsaws to help themselves. Nephew Mike and several other family members have been loaded up. Last week I also found a friend of ours who was running low, so we've stocked her up for the rest of this winter and most of next.
Now that the existing stockpile is down I've been told my marketing job is done. We can also start to think about felling a few macrocarpa trees that need to come down....
