The more I see this stuff, the more willing I am to try it. I was planning on planting about 20 black locust seedlings as a support species for my food forest. I wonder if instead of removing them altogether, maybe I should keep them for coppicing. Or just plant another 20 in a different area and coppice them...I can find them for about $1 per seedling so it's not that expensive. Would love to be able to grow firewood/produce natural fence materials.
