Book review
The Woodland Way - A Permaculture Approach to Sustainable Woodland Management by Ben LawGrand Designs, showed Ben building his home and now we can read about Ben and his families life in the woods in more detail. Most books on woodland seemed to be for people working in forestry and managing plantations. This book has lots of useful information about managing woodland on a smaller scale. It goes into detail on tree species, what to do with them along with ideas on the practical use of woodland produce. Using the book we have managed to identify that most of the woodland is chestnut that has been coppiced at some time. We will be cutting some in the winter of 2007 to provide some firewood for 2008. Judging by this book we don't have enough land to be self sufficient in firewood but with the information it gives we should be able to make the best of what we have got. The part about green woodworking has also got us fired up so look out for tales of bodging somewhere down the line. Order Online here
