We keep a good number of standing dead
trees on our property for wildlife and wild edible
mushroom growing, but this one was contributing to an excessively moist mosquito-breeding pocket and leaning a little over a walkway, which can be a hazard particularly as hurricane season is beginning in earnest in these parts.Once I had downed the tree, my brother helped me break it down and drag it to a hugel-inspired
garden bed in progress.
"[6] Let the people, O God, confess to Thee: let all the people give praise to Thee: [7] The earth hath yielded her fruit. May God, our God bless us, [8] May God bless us: and all the ends of the earth fear Him." (Psalms 66/67)
