I thought I'd do a bit more thinning out of primarily bay
laurel on the back hill. Now I've already cut down quite
a few trees over the years and they take their sweet time
turning back to the soils and nutrients from which they
originated. I figured keeping them wet and close together
near the ground would help. Any other helpful
suggestions?


Mix with rotten wood chips to inoculate with fungus,
maybe?


or better yet, order some edible fungus plugs & make yourself
a nice mushroom garden.
