I have some similar structures I am building and I cut deadall, preferably green stuff as straight as I could find, then used a post hole digger 4 feet deep and stand the logs up and fill in.  4 years and going on oldest ones.  

Idk about standing dead oak but it would be cool to do it with live ones.
I think it is a great idea.

I am working on setting up two sort of Wallapini type greenhouses built almost entirely from scrap, to grow cold weather mushrooms like Blue Oyster in to be able to produce some income in the winter.  I've little idea how to do it yet, one is 6 feet deep stepping up for about 10 feet, with 2/3's covered in cut logs laid across top and then A frame logs over the stepped up portion to be able to walk down in there.  (6 feet is the minimum needed to tap into the 50 degree year round ground temperature, will go deeper when I get the right tools to bust through the ground, at 5 feet the shovel does little on the compacted sand/clay.)

I figure I will lay translucent plastic sheeting I can get from a concrete guy over the logs and then another layer of logs/sticks over top maybe, and a window or two of double clear plastic (mushrooms need a little light to tell them which way to grow.)

The other  one has logs sunk into  the ground and connecting together on the top, not sure how to finish that but I will start working on both again soon.
Oolong tea is the best.  Not all oolong is however.  Prince of Peace brand is very good, it tastes like tulips smell.

There are two plants that jump to mind as maybe helping against Covid symptoms.  First and most promising, Devil's Club, Opplopanax Horridum methinks is the official name, native to the Pacific Northwest America.  Possibly some types of prickly poppies may be worth looking at.

Any attempt at finding a plant or other biological substance that helps against Corona is a shot in the dark, but odds are, if not in the plant kingdom, then from algae or even venom there are plants that can help against this plant if not cure it.

Devils Club was used by the Native Americans of the Region for treating Respiratory Diseases, and some claim it can cure TB, (although there are purportadly many plants that can do that.  It also lowers blood sugar.  It is the most important medicinal plant of the Natives in the region.

Is there a better forum for people to share plants that may be able to help along with research and outcomes from their uses against this new killer virus?
