    Default What to do with brush


    I just cut some pin oak limbs around the yard and was wondering what would be the best way to sink them? Do I need to let the leaves come off first? Do I put them in buckets and cement and sink, or do I tie them in bunches and sink with rocks?

    To me sticking 5-6 branches in a bucket-o-cement would be the easiest. And it's not that expensive.. 3 gal buckets and a couple bags of cement...
    'Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
    The blind see and the lame walk; lepers are cleansed and deaf hear; dead are raised up and poor have the gospel preached to them.
    And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me... Matthew 11:4-6

    Try putting legs out horizontal on buckets or floats on top . I build them wide as possiable and don't worry if they fall over .

    I use 2 pieces of rebar in an X through the bottom of the bucket...I seal the hole with putty so the 'crete doesnt leak out....then I use chicken wire to hold my limbs in place until the concrete drys.
    You can also use rectangular plastic trays, or pvc X's.

    Good looking stuff, Intimidator. Thanks for the idea on the chicken wire too! I always struggle to find stuff to hold the limbs up. I must add in case others use this idea, if you go to Lowes, you better ask for "poultry mesh" or the kids working there won't know what you're talking about! I needed some to keep my dog from digging out under my fence years ago and that's when I learned it was no longer called chicken wire.
