I created a border for my little 'wildflower area' using branches from a neighbor's discarded Chinaberry tree, and I also used same branches to create a Hugelkultur bed. Much to my dismay some of the branches are now sprouting and growing leaves - in both the border and in the hugelkultur bed.

I can easily dismantle the border and put all the branches on the curb for organic pickup - but I have sweet potatoes and cantaloupes growing in the hugelkultur bed and I really don't want to tear it apart now. I have used pruner to cut out the sprouting parts that I can see. However, I'm concerned about whether it will continue inside the bed and I just can't see it.

Any suggestions?
