The Designer Gardens

Yes, there’s an art to stacking — and even buying — firewood, so it dries quickly and burns brilliantly come fall.

In my city world (I live in NYC), the prep for the cooler days of fall and winter is simple: swap clothes in the closet and add a few extra blankets on the bed. In other parts of the country — including Maine, where my husband’s family lives — people prepare months (even years!) in advance to heat their homes come fall and winter.

In the spring, my father-in-law has wood from his wood lot chopped and stacked to dry, so he can use it as firewood through the fall and winter. Burning his own firewood helps reduce the frequency that he needs to use his furnace (which burns ever-expensive oil).
