Re: [biofuel] Re: eucalyptis

i suppose it works because it pulls the fire up to the tops keeping the
fire away from the stuff that burns near the ground and causes it to spread. 
as long as the ground is kept mowed near them they would work ok, but they
probably work better as a windbreak to prevent the fire from spreading
really fast, a la big wall.

a
different kind, I don't know the full name. They smell the same
as
eucalyptus oil though.
