Laurie I can feel the warmth of a walk-in fire place. How big of logs does it burn? We have plenty of wood here so we burn a fire all fall/winter/spring. My mothers family lived in Germany and they housed their animals below where they lived. The idea is good because you would not need to take a shower very often cause then you would smell the animals. My barn is going to be much easier to build. Yours sounds beautiful. How about a picture? I always thought mushroom compost was special until I started building soil here. I have had thousands of mushrooms popping up. I have decided that I am building a mushroom grotto in my new woodland garden. I am piling old woodland stumps to make a cave and will fill it with mushroom compost and keep it moist. I suspect I will have a cornicopia of different shrooms. Mushrooms grow in acidic soil and I suspect the lime is to bring the ph closer to 7. We actually have 6.8Ph here and that is what must grow them cause they do great here.
Poochella I thought the same thing with the entrance to the arboretum. Jburesh wouldn't be allowed to collect there because they were blowing the leaves into the areas they compost them.
I pull the trailor with a 4X4 Pickup. I will have to test the best way to haul 5 tons of rock. Please note I will start smaller. The trees will be easy. I am hauling one at a time and am waiting for the snow to melt to get the first ones. We collect in many different vehicles. LOL
