I'm not quite a lumberjack, but that's OK, I sleep all night and I dream all day; I'll coppice trees, I'll grow my food, and compost poo and pee! With a well and off-grid solar, it's a permies life for me! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FshU58nI0Ts
"The rule of no realm is mine. But all worthy things that are in peril as the world now stands, these are my care. And for my part, I shall not wholly fail in my task if anything that passes through this night can still grow fairer or bear fruit and flower again in days to come. For I too am a steward. Did you not know?" Gandolf

If weeds and blackberries are a problem, you could you cover them with black plastic to discourage growth, and then cut through the plastic to plant vining plants like watermelon or cucumbers. Do you have access to an excavator? If so, it would be easy to sculpt the pile the way you want it. You could create mini-terraces on it, and then put down plastic on the steep sides and channel the water via small swales to water exactly what you want to get water. Can you imagine if you planted it with pumpkins? The pumpkin pile!
I'd kill for a 15 foot tall pile of decomposing stuff. I'm terribly jealous. Go crazy with it!
