    Default Setting brush piles Help?


    I'm thinking about setting some brush out right after Christmas, I've never done it done I need the 411 on where and how. I'm assuming a concrete block as an anchor and a gallon jug at the top to hold it upright.
    Any help out there?

    It really depends on what you are using for brush, christmas trees, bamboo, pvc, etc. A few years ago I helped along with others at High Rock where we cut bamboo and planted about 6-8 stalks in 5 gallon buckets full of quickrete. Turst me they will go staight to the bottom! What do you have in mind?

    Where are you planning to do this? I've done a few here and there. I got some limbs now and waiting on help to put them out on Wylie. If I'm off or it's in the evening from my morning shift I'll try to be available.

    You will need concrete blocks and wire or heavy duty nylon zip ties and if you need bottles I can get those for you free. I use detergent bottles easier to tie on. May can help out on some blocks too!

    If your collecting Christmas trees get the biggest you can get. Smaller ones use up your blocks and you get less brush area!

    Just had a thought instead of concrete blocks use those concrete forms, you cut the 12" diameter form 6-8" tall fill with secrete, altho the concrete blocks would be cheaper.
    Maybe stick the tree in one hole fill both with concrete

    What material are you planning to use for brush? If Christmas trees, a block on the bottom and a jug on the top.
