We waste nothing, the wood chips are used to dress flower beds and to suppress weeds when tree planting, Small timber is used to heat our home, large timber is used to build things, our home being one of them, other things are barns, sheds, chalets, tree houses, tables wooden boxes that sometimes play music and the occasional vampire slaying kit, it's probably best not to ask about them though.

This is how all the tree trunks were taken out of sheeplands and brought back after milling it into whatever we need, the intention is to build a covered barbecue area wher the walnut tree was out of trees from this garden and nowhere else, we have ash, pine, and walnut.

As the storm lasted a bit longer than expected more damage than expected was done, this was an impressive walnut tree in the centre of this garden, however there is now another new idea.
