I just leave mine where they fall
Leaves break down and become fertilizer, the way nature intended. I run the mower over them and mulch most of it but never rake any of them up.I just leave mine where they fall
I blew them from the carport, driveway, patio and sidewalks into the yard. And out of some drainage ditches. Had to do some weeding too. My mower is always set on mulch, and I'll mulch them when I get time.Leaves break down and become fertilizer, the way nature intended.

Use one like that one
I burn everything, as in types of wood, not trash. No doubt good hardwoods last longer and produce less ash. Poplar seems to produce more volume of ash than it had in wood..... it all keeps you warm though.Went to the neighbor and got 20 pieces of the oak I had given him 2 years ago. (Before I considered a stove) and it was amazing how it burned compared to the crap I have.
I cut more yesterday and it has seasoned about a year so I'm hoping to have better luck with it than the last tree I cut.
I hired a tree company to drop six trees here with 4 of them needing to be roped down in pieces as they were over buildings. The cost wasn’t too bad without the cleanup. Of course I still have a big pile behind one building. I cleaned up all the stuff in visible sight and that filled my wood bins so as I use some I will continue cutting up the pile back there slowly.I gave all of my good wood away prior to buying my stove. I have a couple of oaks I need to cut so that they can be seasoning ASAP. I can't drop them, but can take care of them once they are on the ground.
Around here they're about $30 for a good clean closed top 55 gallon barrel.In your area, how much are 55 gallon metal drums, sealed and suitable for shop wood heater?
