I had thought of that but to be honest the only place to leave chips drying is the garden and i would probably have to bring em in each night and only put em out if its dry, would take some time.
I actually reckon that a lot of my find is actually softwood
Burnt some and smelled it, was like pine.
I'm finding it really difficult to get hardwood of any sort where I am, except for beech chips as reptile bedding. Their not very good though, quite slow colonization, not fresh enough methinks.
Have looked for suppliers online as well.
I may have to hire a mulcher at this rate.
