Thank you for sharing this practice and including a photo.  

This past winter I attended a lecture and walk at the local arboretum on lichens.  I learned that lichens activate and process nitrogen in small amounts.  Since then I take branches with lichens on them and place them around plants instead of placing them in the yard waste bin.  

I do not understand how nitrogen carries / activates the astral but I do know that the practice works to encourage plant life.  I have heard of and used 'hugelkultur' and now learn this lovely word 'fascines.' 

Again, thank you!
