I now process all of my firewood in one 30x12 spot. In the last year since I last cleaned the splitter spot, I have processed somewhere between 25 and 30 cord. Last night I started to clean up the splitting spot and removed 4 bucket loads of splitter trash. I was surprised at the volume especially given that it is very well compacted and the stuff on the bottom had turned largely to dirt already. I never realized how much waste there was when I split in different spots on the lawn and cleaned up as I went.
