THE MOST DANGEROUS THING ON ANY FARM!! AND...FARM CHORES/TRACTOR WORK/FUN!

What happens here

The initial phase of preparing land for an orchard involves clearing unwanted woody debris. This includes large brush piles resulting from timber operations, consisting of branches, stumps, and other coarse woody material. The video highlights that for these particular piles, conventional methods like mulching or composting were deemed unfeasible, necessitating an alternative disposal approach.

Goal: Clear land of large woody biomass not suitable for composting.

Tools and materials

  • Heavy machinery — Collecting and consolidating large woody debris into piles
