First of all. A sincere thank you for the help. There are folks on here that are so far beyond in experience than I am. Experience is a valuable thing. I am toying with the idea of not herbicide and killing my cut over. My family is sensitive to the chemicals and I don't want the deer grazing it. I also don't want to kill my plots and or planted firebreaks. I have 2 questions. My place is thick in slash! Both Pine and hardwood. I love the idea of the rot and ash feeding the soil. My tree guy that has run a large tree removal crew for 30 years told me that lime will rot the slash in half the time. It will also raise the ph in the soil.
1. Is it true that lime will rot slash quickly?
2. Can lime liquid or granular be applied with aireal applications?
Is this just crazy thinking? Or could this work? Too expensive?
Thanks
