A very cool idea, the small mammals and reptiles will love it

Some really good ideas. Thank you. I love the idea of 'hair'!

LOVE it! I have several smaller ones. Would love to have a huge one like this.

I did a similar thing but not quite as big! Lol

How is that different from a cord or two of firewood?

How will this look in 2, 5 10 years? Do you ideally need several piles at different stages of decay?

Unable to share this directly onto my popular Facebook page. Sharing is allowed to Facebook, but only to Newsfeed or groups. Maybe you could fix this? Cheers

I love this idea but dread the idea of finding it full of vermin, like rats, in the spring. Anyone know if there is a way to deter unwelcome wildlife?

Things balance themselves out.
