We have at least four chestnut trees bearing now, and one of them has big shiny dark chestnuts, the colour of chestnut hair. Yesterday I picked up a whole bucket full of chestnuts. You have to tramp on them first and roll them till they yield their nut. I think when my grandchildren come in the weekend I will give them a bucket each and make it a competition to see who can gather the most chestnuts. Time to get rid of the husks. The neighbour burns them but we don't plan to waste them to that degree. I have no idea how long it would take for them to compost.
