I have some dutch elms coming up but it is about to hit 35c another week so have gone around pruning and cutting down the dead ones.. The problem is the fire hazard is now my compost heap.. How do you deal with raging inferno possibilities? At one point 3 years ago we were surrounded by fire so much that I even had to get out the TV to see from the local channels if the fire was coming this way and it was snowing cinders all over the place.
