Brushpile wood question - 03/27/17 12:15 AM
I'm soon going to cut down mostly sweetgums to make brushpiles for my little lake. However, the watershed is very acidic, piney timber, and it has been a struggle to get pH up to 6.5 now (5.5 last year).
Here's my question: If we create 15 or 20 brushpiles, each consisting of 4 to 6 freshly cut individual gums, would that throw off the water chemistry? I sure don't need more acid, which I fear would be the case.
Any thoughts?
