Chopping down is fun, clearing up ism so and stump removal is beep beeping hard work! Fun bit is done. Can I get off now? What can you do with a 5 to 6 m multi stemmed conifer once cut down? Last few trees we've cut down and trimmed to 20+ visits with up to 3 x 272 litre rubble sacks.
I wondered whether a chipper for mulch or to add to compost bins. We got about 5 with the house when we moved in dotted around the garden. Mostly empty. If we add chipped wood to green waste n would it all compost down OK? Compost is a black art IMHO. I've never known anyone who has had a good compost going on.
Wood chippings mixed with soft green stuff like grass clippings should make good compost, and "raw" chippings can be used as mulch around shrubs/trees (looks a bit stark to begin with, but it soon weathers and darkens).
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
NorthernJoe, you must be attacking a different species to the ones I removed. Although roughly the height you describe the trunk was no more than about 10cm diameter.
