I have a bunch of material, but before we start placing, I have questions:
1. Can I use fresh pine tree pruning waste in a blueberry bed. PSTAY (Pretty Sure The Answer is Yes).
2. Can I use stuff from an old grass clipping compost heap. PSTAY.
3. Can I use twigs and clippings from shrubs. PSTAY. I have a giant 14 foot x 160 ft hedge that I'm going to prune back to 12 feet.
4. I have two trees that are over run with sooty mold (spotted lantern fly epidemic in our area). I had an arborist tell me that the trees will live as long as I want to put up with how they look (pretty gnarly), and to cut away the dead branches. He said the only risk to the surrounding plants is physical damage from falling limbs. The lantern flies don't live in the wood, they just chew into the bark, cause sap drip, and the sooty mold grows on the wet bark. I'm assuming these limbs could be cut up and placed in the mound, since sooty mold itself isn't a disease, just a condition from the wet bark.
5. I had an old maple tree stump ground up a few years ago. Those chips are going in the mound unless I hear different.
Thanks!
