Hi,
    When friends have X mas trees left over cut with thinning in mind  
from the local forests, they bring the trees to me. They are freed of  
as much decoration as possible, the limbs removed and used for making  
raised beds.  The main truck is dried, cut in pieces or shredded  
depending on width. If it is nice and straight will use it as a pole  
in a project after drying.

I don't practice bio-char as have found using oat straw or like in my  
environment works well.
