Ash Disposal Tip
Supercharge your compost by adding your recycled ash. Growing plants need plenty of trace elements that ash contains, and it will actually increase the PH of your soil as ash is naturally alkaline. This will allow you to grow plants such as lavender and honeysuckle that are much loved by bees which wouldn’t be able to thrive in more acidic soils.
What’s more, if you have problems with slugs and snails, sprinkling ash around your plants will deter these creatures without having to use lethal poisons or expensive salt.

HOW TO MEASURE THE AMOUNT OF FIRE WOOD LOGS YOU ARE PURCHASING
Fire wood measurements can be confusing. With terms like full and half ‘bakkie loads’, ‘number of pieces’ and ‘weight’, knowing exactly how much firewood you're buying or selling is often misunderstood.

Quality You Shouldn't Compromise On!
Ever Heard the saying "what you put in is what you get out" ?This phrase literally applies to every aspect of our life.
What you put into your fire place is what you get out.
What sort of fire unit do you have?
Is it an enclosed glass fronted unit/iron stove, pizza oven
or an open fire place?
Do you know which wood to use and not to use?
Wet wood will smoke up your house and blacken the screenof your enclosed unit.
Pine & Oak contains high levels of resin.Overtime, the resin sticks as an invisible film inside the flue and can become a serious fire hazard. We do not stock pine or oak for these reasons.
Kameeldoring is not recommended to be used soley on its own
in an enclosed unit. Much like pouring boiling hot water into a juice
glass, the extreme heat will crack the glass.
These simple mistakes could be costly! -
