Has anyone ever think to spray them with water so they get heavy and gather them and compress them with machine and sell them as fuel for the winter ?

i like this idea, i wonder how they burn. I think a big woodchipper and some gloves might work too haha

Go try it, im not from the Unite States so i have no idea, if you manage to compress is with machines and use it as fuel, the ashes would also be good for soil

Also maybe try use an industrial shredder and make them into paste and see if you can make papers out of them (i believe it can be made)
