In an unkempt woodland though, thinning allows the trees you leave to thrive with the benefit of all that extra light. rusty duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12238493821002258459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-19289830130998320522013-10-17T11:20:49.055+01:002013-10-17T11:20:49.055+01:00It is sad but like everything in nature, including...It is sad but like everything in nature, including us, it is all about recycling. It lives, it dies/comes down, is burnt for warmth or turning into something useful, and hopefully any ash will be used in the garden.Dchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02490191919855219024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-18158983753694093702013-10-17T10:50:50.554+01:002013-10-17T10:50:50.554+01:00What a shame...I feel your pain.

Sadly we are down to 3 and one should really come down before it comes down on the house, half of it is dead. I miss the shade and beautiful colors. I do, however, do not miss the massive amount of raking we used to do.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12372142551115802326noreply@blogger.com
