    Surely anyone with a biomass boiler would be interested?

    We have been ringing around and no takers. Seems an awful waste.

    Chop and spread.
    If you sell it as bedding for livestock and it’s not under 14%moisture, it could be poisonous to animals that eat it.
    Thus, chop and spread.

    Used it last year for bedding. Great soakage.
    Stock ate a little of it with no consequences
