Not ‘strictly’ woodland related… but very much part of our life here at The Lund - wood pellets.
When we first converted the farm buildings in 2008 we installed a large boiler that would run off wood chip, logs, pellets - basically anything you could throw into it. Great - apart from the fact I had to fill the hopper at least once a day!
When we converted outbuildings into office space to let, we had a commitment to keeping the heating on for tenants. Essentially we couldn’t leave if the boiler was running. Eventually we saved enough money to install a fully automated wood-pellet boiler to heat our home, the studio and Skylark. Twice a year we top up the 4T hopper… always feels better when the hoppers full :-)
