I'll be writing about my own work before too long and am already mulling over what projects I want to undertake next year.<br /><br />My husband Mike and I are also starting to burn wood for heat. Our new wood stove was installed about 3 weeks ago. We'll be burning our third small fire in it in a couple of days (we were told to burn small fires the first three times). Over the last couple of days Mike dug the post holes for a wood shed. We will likely burn a mix of scavenged, purchased, and homegrown wood for the first few years, using the stove for supplemental heat. As fracked natural gas becomes less available we will transition to using the wood stove more.SLClairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17307602613058790026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658129315126034386.post-79090672584781951292014-11-25T09:38:16.940-08:002014-11-25T09:38:16.940-08:00The sessile oak (Quercus petraea) has one of its s...The <a href="https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/learn/british-trees/native-trees/sessile-oak/" rel="nofollow">sessile oak</a> (<i>Quercus petraea</i>) has one of its strongholds in Cornwall, a different subspecies from the English oak. <br /><br />The phrase "Nos Kalan Gwav" comes from the traditional Celtic division of the year into the light half and the dark half of the year, the light half returning at Beltane in the beginning of May.

Water stress ...Hi Chris - thanks for your comments! Water stress is not usually an issue here as usually we have too much of the stuff. However, over the past few years, we are seeing weather patterns get 'stuck' for long periods of time. These days, if it starts raining it might rain for three months without stopping, followed by three months of dry. That's why I'm trying to get as much diversity in - something will always thrive whatever the conditions.<br /><br />I'm actually off down to the forest today to do a day's work cutting up some more firewood. I also have about 30 more oak seedlings to put in ... but I couldn't find any English oaks this year so am planting a load of Mediterranean holm oaks instead (in addition to beech and chestnuts). These are evergreens and I figure I'll be able to sell them in a couple of years time, or use them as hedging.<br /><br />As for the cider ... we're having a preliminary tasting in a month (at winter solstice). I've never made it before but I'm told it will be slightly bitter. The sweetness will have developed by about April next year. As for changing your palate ... I gave up sugar last week and am just starting to notice a change. Mind you, I can't stand coffee without some kind of sweetener so I've put a teaspoon of agave syrup in it.<br /><br />Cheers, JasonJason Heppenstallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17886109260870545074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658129315126034386.post-47969387936430136992014-11-24T13:18:08.104-08:002014-11-24T13:18:08.104-08:00Hi Jason. Mate, this is awesome! Well done, the pl...Hi Jason. Mate, this is awesome! Well done, the place looks great. So many great projects on the go at once.<br />You'll find that next summer, those trees in their second year won't require as much watering. In fact it might not be a bad idea to let them get a little bit water stressed, so they send roots deeper into the soil. You have to watch them closely though as you don't want to kill them either. Long term, you don't really want to have to water them as water is a precious resource and the trees can become dependent and shallow rooted.<br />You have so much organic matter on the ground - all those autumn leaves are really great feed for the trees and soil life. If you wanted to speed the system up a bit you could experiment with a small area by mowing the area - which will chip and mulch all of that organic matter. It increases the surface area of the material which gives more edges for fungi, bacteria, nematodes etc. to eat.<br />Great to see the chestnuts growing strongly and I love the oak tree. There are 160 year old English Oaks in this part of the world and they are something to see.<br />Hope the cider turns out well. I cheat a bit and add a small amount of sugar and champagne yeast so that the mix turns out a bit stronger and sweeter than the more traditional apple cider vinegar taste. Who knows what sort of naturally occurring yeasts would be in the orchards up your way. Still, it only takes 3 weeks of effort to change your palate! I used to hate natural yoghurt, but after a bit of effort it tastes fine to me.<br />Glad to hear that you support so much wildlife too. It is a good sign and sometimes they may work against you, but often they'll be teaching you things that you never thought possible. Respect for your work. Cheers.

So are you. Thanks for the inspiration. <br /><br />Wolfgang, I stay away from doom. Nobody knows the future, and we individual specks can't save the world.

By doing so, you are not making the world a worse place and setting an example for others to follow. <br />Over here in California, we have planted our winter crop of turnip greens. The parsley is also doing nicely now that the sun has gotten less intense. And the tomato plants got a second wind as well. In December we plan on doing our now annual trip to the Mojave Desert, a place that naturally encourages contemplation with its silence and emptiness and lack of a cellphone signal.

I suppose it wouldn't be a concern because your trees are not American Chestnuts. I know that Chinese chestnuts aren't affected by the blight. I also think that there are American chestnuts now with just 1% Chinese that are resistant to the blight.

These days I spend 95% of the time thinking about and working on my woodland project, and about 5% of the time obsessing about doom. A couple of years back this would have been roughly the other way around. Usually, if I have something to say I'll go over and write something on 22 Billion Energy Slaves, although I fully recognise that it's just more preaching to the choir.<br /><br />I think it's quite easy to become addicted to doom and horror. Modern life to the informed is like watching a slow motion car crash and there's nothing (much) you can do to prevent it. Nevertheless, I was obsessing about doom for quite a while, and that's where I got the idea for the book I am writing (which is actually nearly finished). My simple question is 'how does one live at peace with the world when so much is going wrong?' I spent 10 days walking alone around a forest in Sweden looking for answers.<br /><br />As for the other bloggers, their blogs are vehicles for them to sell books. Hopefully mine will be too some day, so expect more doom in the pipeline (plenty of time to dwell on it when I'm digging ponds and hauling wood!)<br /><br />Jason Heppenstallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17886109260870545074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658129315126034386.post-28905454034720182302014-11-09T10:00:41.898-08:002014-11-09T10:00:41.898-08:00I don't have a link to this blog. I get here ...I don't have a link to this blog. I get here by way of your 22 Billion blog and so, to get here takes two steps, first through an antechamber of horrors, then out into a garden of delights. How different the feeling of the two, depressing in one case and delightful and heartening in the other. Curiously, I have become addicted to gloom and horror. If it were not so, I would link directly to this blog and slowly wean myself off your other blog and all the other blogs like it in the sphere where Orlov and Kunstler and John Michael Greer trot out gloom on a weekly basis.<br />I am curious whether you ever get tempted to just garden and coppice and dig ponds and put out your positive message and abandon the world of gloom to others.Wolfgang Brinckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08314364206955412017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658129315126034386.post-49197523839568512672014-11-02T21:16:38.126-08:002014-11-02T21:16:38.126-08:00You're welcome!You're welcome!

They were brought to these shores by the Romans back in the day and are very useful for construction as the wood is so strong, easy to split and contains natural tannins. I could send you a few seeds, assuming they won't be confiscated as a biohazard. It's be a thrill to know that they are growing in foreign lands.Jason Heppenstallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17886109260870545074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658129315126034386.post-10693927089432219062014-11-02T15:12:11.327-08:002014-11-02T15:12:11.327-08:00Your work is inspirational to me.
