For all the late night relevant boosted bro's and wo's out there - a good percentage of day walkers wouldn't be around if not for us...  civilization thrives on diversity and withers on monohulture.  

Go with the flow that only you know, and consider the rest as sketchy at best. Far be it from me to try and turn moss into a tree - for moss has a beauty same as carpet has a duty. Call me Apple, I require a minimum number of chill hours to be fruitful and crush.

Beautiful spoon, Caleb!

In my opinion it's wisdom (too) to understand there are people who like tomatoes in a fruit salad and others who don't

I suppose your probably right and I will tolerate them but I draw the line at nuts in a fruit salad.  Those people are clinically insane..probably.. Most likely.. Allegedly. (I'm joking)

More seriously tho, I imagine there are multiple paths to everything and how one gets there may matter as much as if they do.  I just prefer a healthy helping of humor and a pinch of candid clarity on mine.

Thanks for the compliment with the spoon.  Thought it was a gonner due to the wood cracking while drying but they didn't go all the way thru and I left enough meat on it to make them disappear. Close one, hah. Also, I'll confess I used a dremel and a orbital sander with the second half of the job.  I don't think I'll go to permiculture hades because I still remember how to get it done without electricity.

Brave Rebel Key day 59

Sunday's are meant to recharge and sometimes that's all seven of them if your a solar panel.

I'm not and I've only gotten sunburn from trying to be one.

Speaking of dead standing wood, I meant to ask if the only reason it was being used as firewood was because there wasn't another dried alternative?

I was splitting that stuff in and then around the tipi, dust always and grubs and beatles often flying, the outer inch or more often already spongified... This isn't great firewood, and I'm burning soil here...   Oh well.  I've experienced that dead standing timber is basically dry wood, ready to burn save a tiny bit of the outside diameter near the bottom, even at the end of an 8 month 50" wet and cool season.   Firewood you don't have to put up and cure before use, and can be retrieved needed...very convenient!

But seems like the lab really wants that soil, and that already spongified wood represents years of progress.  I'd wanna get that stuff on or in the ground asap, as opposed to in a fire.

An alternative to putting cords under a roof is girdling live trees that you know are going to be used as firewood within  a year or 2.  I have girdled an 8" abh diameter tree here, and it is completely dry after 1 summer.  Except it often doesn't rain and cloudy days are rare here during the "growing season", and I'm not sure if that spot in Montana land gets as much hot hot heat as the east side foothills of the central Oregon coast range...so it might need to be a smaller tree or 2 summers.  esperiments!

Happy hugelin exclusively with already spongified wood

Many things last lifetimes or eons, but the only thing that's permanent is the ever-changing flow itself
