What's the purpose, and how do you start it, and control it? Never seen it done here in NY...not intentionally at least.
Its primarily for the blueberry fields and done every other year. It helps to rid weeds control insects in areas where its too rocky to flail mow.

You just need a good crew, lots of water, a burn line with underbrush, and always burn down wind.

Rice stubble is burned on some of the fields around here in the fall, not sure why only some of them get burned. It is supposed to stop a root fungus that is in the soil. Being downwind sucks.

We're fortunate to not have neighbors close enough to affect and the few that do live that far out of town usually burn too. Its kinda of a sign of spring here in the northeast. The fields regrow lush and beautiful.

I do lots of burning on my property. Works like a charm. Actually I was out till like 9:45 last night finishing up some old wood pile scraps.

Went and picked up Poppa Murphy's pizza because I have been thinking about pizza since last night (screw you @shrxhky420 lol.) Got the hose in the front yard separated from the African violets and crab grass it was laying in. I thought I had a leak in the supply line, but it seems that someone had left the water on and the hose was leaking at the bib... :roll: Got the fungicide mixed up for the roses to kill off the black spot, I might spray them in a bit, or wait till morning. Buds and suds in a bit.

I had a bomb fire here...once...Promptly met the chief of the local fire department, who happens to live right up the road....Apparently they strongly discourage that kind of thing around here:fire::fire::fire: I'm out in the sticks too...Rules, rules, rules!
They dont even allow burn permits in rural areas during Spring when everything is waterlogged from winter? We camped upstate in Canajoharie NY and had a massive bone fire. Guess we we're lucky.

Dump truck wheels/steel rims work like a charm for a small pit/barb-b-q. Mr Tang gets request for the 25.5 bud wheels all the time. The local campgrounds use a lot of them.


I shall strangulate the cormorant
I had to google "cormorant" also known as a "shag" :hump:
