I'm looking forward to trying this. What I wonder is, in the beginning you mentioned not to use a regular axe. What is the reason for that? What's the main benefit from using this special sledge-hammer axe? Is it mainly the extra weight?
In New Zealand, that last piece 11:01, we would call the over nighter, save that and put in at the end of the evening and with a bit of luck it last till the morning, a few hot coals to get you started again on a chilly winter morning
Believe me their is a much better way to split the fire 🔥 Wood 🪵 like this mam is trying to split 🪓 if you have got the right kind of wedge to use i just don't get slinging that heavy splitting Axe over and over and over until you are warn Slap out 🪓🪵🔥❓❓❓❓🤔
No, bro. They're not putting down "200 pounds of Nitrogen per spot". They're laying dow 200(ish) PER ACRE. Nothing would grow for years if 200 pounds per spot were laid down. Talk about Nitrogen Burn, FFS.
If your garden is not so terribly big, trench and add a physical weed barrier- like some edging. If you are cheap like me, you can actually cut the treads off of old tires, cut once across the tread and you have an almost indestructible flexible edging that your string trimmer won't destroy and will stop (most) bermuda incursions.
I am just Thinking about all of the Energy he is having to use just Splitting just that 1 piece o Fire 🔥 Wood 🪵 I am 65 years old I Could never stand Their for a real long time slinging that have Busting Axe Their has got to be a much Better Way 🪓🪵🔥❓❓❓❓
Imo you overcomplicate it a lot. 1) That piece is heavy, leave it on the ground 2) If your goal is to not have to pick up pieces: use a tire or chain around it 3) Stop tickling it, better to smack it from the start close to the edges, for sure a less hits and perhaps less total energy, but for sure a lot quicker
I love the way you work WITH the wood rather than imposing your will on it. I learned several things from this one video. I've watched a number of videos on this topic and learned nothing helpful. I'm not sure if (at 66, a petite woman) I will have the strength to manage this, but at least I will have a strategy. Many, many thanks! Good teaching, too!
That’s interesting. One might observe that the successful hits are when the axe veers slightly off angle as it’s just about to contact the wood. That’s the ticket, and it’s a habit that needs to be cultivated in the interest of conserving your strength. I’ve seen some people (not you!) who have their children hold the piece of wood as they are swinging the axe to try and split it. That doesn’t sound like a good idea to me.
I've been using this method for a few weeks, since I saw your genius video. Lots of larvae, but none are crawling up the ramp to the top hole. Instead they were wriggling out through (and getting stuck in) my drainage holes. So I just enlarged my drainage holes so they're slightly larger than the BSF larvae, kept the bin at its normal tilt, and put another small bin below the drainage holes. I now have a big pan of squirming gold for my fluffy butts! Any tips on getting them to crawl up instead of down? I'm happy with the way things are working now, just curious if I'm missing something.
dude that is not efficient you had to hit the thing a thousand times man!!!! you need to swing harder manand sink one mall in and drive it with another mall. Frick it must take you a week to split a cord lmfao!!!!!!!!!! you dont know didley squat about firewood
How do you get them to go into the little hole with the small tub? Legit gonna use this im starting a homestead and this is absolutely useful for raising chickens with no grain feed.
