Ok, I an mot sure if this should be posted here or in the scratch building section, but here go's

Hudson and Allen has a product called Forrest Litter. This is in fact the seeds from a Birch.
I have found a small forest of Birch trees very close to my house and I have send my kids to get me some.





They brought me two 5L buckets full of it #:-) #:-) It is enough for a lifetime

The cones already turned brows so they fall apart without any work at all, but you have two products after it falls apart, the leaves and the chafe (which is useless), now I must separate them, but I don't know how.

I have tried the following methods: water, blowing, sifting. No effect, the mass and size is almost the same (microgram’s). I could separate them by hand, but this would mean that at the end I have 5L of "leaves: and 5L of chafe and I know I won't get my kids to do that for me (I tried )

Maybe someone tried this and found a answer to "easily" separate them?

Uh, sorry Ronny, can't answer your question now - goin' out lookin' for Birch Trees

Gunnie :-) :-)

You could always call Hudson and Allen and ask them how they do it #:-)

Wouldn't letting mother nature do it be the way? I mean letting them sit out side in bucket and dry by themselves I use to have Birch trees in Long Island white Birch had plenty of pods. (:-)
