A couple of years ago a giant beech tree came down at the back of the meadow & smashed our fence down as well. Cost us a fortune to get it cut up but sadly was not cut up well. The logs left for us were far to big to manage when lifting also far to big to cut with a electric chain saw. The beech was rock hard new axe just bounced off the wood. Was told by tree guys to leave it for a couple of seasons to allow it to wash through! big mistake the beech just got harder! Did some inquires to have to wood cut up into smaller pieces & move closer to the house again this was going to cost another small fortune! so decided it would be cheaper to have a hardwood delivery all correctly chopped direct to the wood store,we also pick up loads of drift wood off the shore. So what to do with all the wood at the bottom of the meadow? decision made BURN IT. First I made a wildlife/insect wall with some of the wood I could move then what was left had a big fire. Wow the heat was intense I even signe my hair and eyebrows. The fire burnt for four days. We are so pleased to have our meadow back it has been a worry with what we were going to do to solve the problem.
