Composting Human Waste

[Tarrel]

@S13:

Well, we are planting willow and birch, but not where the treebog is. The treebog is in an established area of Noble Fir, with a good root structure underneath to "suck those nutrients down"!

I've embarked on a 10-15 year plan to diversify the woodland away from its current even-aged monoculture of Noble Fir. There are some natural clearings in low-lying areas where the Nobles haven't thrived. I think the ground is a bit wetter here. So, those are the priority for clearing, and we'll be replanting with willow and alder (both native and moisture-loving) over the coming winter. Chickens go in first, to clear the vegetation and add in some fertiliser, then replanting.

We've got some scots pine that needs thinning. I'll plant birch in some of the cleared areas there, as it seems to co-exist well with scots pine.

Will put some pics up when I've uploaded them to the 'puter.
