Be creative: Don't burn or mulch your brush piles!

This is the second brush pile that I decided to break down, piece by piece. Like the other brush pile, I utilized this one for building up the berm. I also created habitat for the wildlife in the area, like the gray fox couple that frequents the property.

     This brush pile took a little longer.

Using the limbs, I built up the berm along the entrance to keep the rain water and soil on the land. Over time, it will create a nice build up of soil.

I used these limbs to create my wildlife habitat. I left an opening big enough on both sides to enter or exit. Also, inside it's tall and wide enough for young foxes (kits, pups) to play in.

     The habitat.
