Basket's Build

When I lived in the foothills we rented a wood chipper and sprayed it back into the woods every year or two to do fire mitigation.

The POA sends a truck to do that if you pile stuff on the side of the road but then idk what I'm gonna do with the mulch. Seems counterproductive to spread wood all over the property?

I don't remember the specifics, but it was recommended by the fire department iirc. I believe it burns, but it's a slow and low creeping burn vs a large wall of flames.

Hmmm I'll have to look into that. I'm sure it would be fun dragging all the slash to the side of the road 🤣 but could be a good idea

It seems a lot riskier to burn the piles (or let them sit decomposing) than using a county approved service...

It's all risky living here 😭 I do have a relatively safe place with no nearby trees or brush (mowed to play with the dog). I sometimes wonder if it would be worth digging a little pit to burn the stuff in. But might be overkill
 
I grew up in a time where you used old tires to start large burn/slash piles. Fill them with a mixture of diesel and gas. And then work the pile for a week with gas powered fans to make the whole pile burn. But we also did it in the fall winter and never in the summer.

People would FREAK now if you did this.
