I find this post very interesting as many folks I talk to really don't understand what spontaneous combustion really is and how dangerous it can be. Years ago I was working on a addition remodel and a painter on the job had left oil / staining rags on the concrete floor in the garage off the new kitchen. Wala! he burned down the garage. I always set all oil soaked rags on a chain link fence to dry like laundry and never placing one over the other. I just spread them out and the next day they are dry and ready for the garbage can.

Also fresh cut grass can do the same left in a pile and over just one to two days in the summer can start on fire as well. Composting can be a fire danger as well.

Is there a threat to the California Black ( Claro) walnut or the English walnut variety in anyway, that is so common here in California?
