  The Poisson boundary of a finite direct product of affine automorphism groups
of homogeneous trees is considered. The Poisson boundary is shown to be a
product of ends of trees with a hitting measure for spread-out, aperiodic
measures of finite first moment whose closed support generates a subgroup which
is not fully exceptional. The Poisson boundary of a semi-direct product
associated with every automorphism $\alpha$ and tidy compact open subgroup $V$
in a locally compact, totally disconnected group $G$ is also shown to be the
space of ends of the tree with the hitting measure under similar assumptions.
Necessary and sufficient conditions for boundary triviality are given in both
cases. The method of proof is largely an extension of the prior work of
Cartwright, Kaimanovich and Woess on affine automorphism groups of homogeneous
trees.
