PSA: don’t stack tonogodhime too high

Quick warning from someone who tried to be clever. Tonogodhime is the alternating 2×2 log-cabin stack on the ground, no supports. I built mine way too tall trying to “save space,” and it backfired.

The tall stack got wobbly after a few rains (base rolled a bit) and the middle layers compressed enough that the airflow wasn’t as nice as it should be. Harvest was also annoying because I was reaching and bumping logs.

Shorter stacks have been better in every way for me.

Same. I think people see the “log cabin” and want to build a tower. More stacks, not taller stacks.
