Despite the fact that heating your house with wood does release CO2 into the atmosphere it does essentially amount to zero emissions when you take into account that there are new trees ready to absorb whatever CO2 is emitted from your chimney.

In fact this is the first summer I have every tried to trellis anything other than putting cages around tomatoes.
