Rather than hauling pruned branches to the dump or burning them, I decided to try hugelkultur beds for my blueberries. I didn't have enough branches to make mounds.

| Quinton helped me by inspecting the 2 foot deep trenches. |
 |
| He was not pleased that I filled them in. |
 |
| The remains of trimming the half dead maple tree out front on top of the wisteria that winter killed last year (though it looks like it may be coming back!) |
 |
| For each row, I filled the branches in with the dug soil, topped with peat moss (which should help acidify the soil), and topped that with compost. I will top it all with newspaper and evergreen tree chips to control any grass from coming through. |
