Description
It's cold out there.   Like really cold! In honour of the plummeting temps, Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland dive into a topic near and dear to the hearts of horticulturalists and contractors alike.  WOOD.  We burn it, we build with it, we depend on it for shelter and heat. Should we even be using wood as heat?   Is burning it a bad thing?  The differences between softwood and hardwood are discussed and the ins and outs of how each varieties functions is outlined.  What wood burns best?  What wood burns the worst and how do you properly season wood that will be fuel in the near future?  Wood for furniture, interior and exterior construction is discussed.   What does that little SPF stamp that adorns construction lumber mean?  Why is it there? The trio get wood!   Tune in. Looking to book a consult for your property?  We'd love to help.  CLICK HERE. What is a TGS Tiny Garden? CLICK HERE.
