Washington coast

I recently purchased a half acre on the Washington coast, there is good healthy soil, lots of moisture and tons of huckleberries and blackberries and on the property. I have plans to add additional berries and herbs and flowers as we move into the spring/summer. I’m generally open to advice, but am specifically looking for advice on what to do with this wood pile. It’s rotten through, and while I’ve had success burying smaller piles of wood and planting on top, I’m stuck on how big this pile is.

Should I burry the pile of wood as is? Attempt to maneuver it into smaller piles to bury? What should I plant on top?

Also, since I’m here, what’s the best way to get rid of ivy beyond pulling? 🙃
