I take your point Nick, but it is the sheer amount of time rather than
not being able to physically saw the stuff. Got a large bow saw and
whatever you call the ones with the thin blade that you have to squash
the metal arms together to fit a new blade but sawing for the best part
of three hours and finding the pile not much smaller is a bit off
putting!

Mind you I did see someone make an excellent hedge last week putting in
four staves (2 forward 2 back)and then laying the straighter branches
between the staves. Might try that to deter the deer! The mulberry
offcuts would be excellent for that. The hazel i intend to burn.
