Hello all. I had 13 acres of aspen cut last winter. The logging was done so I could cut trails, expand food plots and create bedding areas. When the loggers came in they asked if they could pile the tops or if I wanted them to spread them back out throughout the property. I told them to stack them by their landing. I figured I can come in later and burn them. Also the lack of tops could help in the regeneration and reduce clutter in creating corridors.
So what I have are two giant piles of aspen tops to deal with. They are much bigger than I anticipated. I want to burn them in the next month or so. When I do can I use the ash as a lime substitute. How complete of a burn do I need to be effective. Has anyone done this before.?
I cannot get ag lime up here in northern MN. I can get pellet lime but it’s quite expensive.
Thanks
