I find in the late fall and winter the wood stove is a good place to get rid of extra stuff. Spring and summer (actually year round) the outdoor "burn barrel" works well, and is a great way I have found to dispose of rockwool "evidence" safely.

In fact, it is the only method I have found to break down the RW and get the root material to disappear. :thumbsup:

BTW if you start to grow SOG, you won't have branches and leaves to dispose of.
