Yeah, I put saplings and old bark from the dried splits down first. I also always stack the bottom layer with wood that has bark tight on it and stack it bark-down. I anticipate the wood sitting like this for one year, then I'll move it under my lean-to (?) this time of year to continue seasoning out of the weather until the following fall/winter when it will be burned. That should dry it up pretty well. I'm as far ahead as I've ever been since starting this operation, so I'm still figuring as I go!

Should have known that you would have known to have something underneath . . . I mean you don't live where you do without knowing a bit about how to stack wood, right?
