I need landscapers feed back -

Answered

I recently dug up areas of grass, moss, weeds to put in peranneal gardens. This left mewith a large pile of soil with dense roots. Our property is flat & I was think of building a mound. Can I use this stuff and bury it at the base? Any other ideas would be appreciated.

I always bury stuff like that so the little creatures can break it down into beautiful soil.

I am a frustrated beginner at gardening. Could someone tell me how you bury these into the soil?
