In the back of my parents
yard (I am their voluntold landscaper in return for a nice pumpkin patch every year) there is a row of useless hedges that are sick because they planted only one type and far too close. Several of these hedges are dead or dying due to a fungal infection. The problem does not seem to be affecting nearby
fruit trees or the grapes, or anything else. In the back I was going to put in a regular raise bed because I lack the woody material for a
hugel. So my hamster wheel started turning, what if I use the dead/sick stuff, infect it with some good
fungi, and bury it. Is this a good idea or is the hamster asleep at the wheel?
