Hi Paul,
I see this post on Hugelkultur is very old, but wondered if you could give me some advice. I live in the CA sierras and recently lost some huge ponderosa pines to the pine beetle. Can I use the pine logs and slash? Do I need to add lime or anything to cut acidity? ALSO, Can I snug the pile of logs up against a steep bank I have and just put supporting wood around the remaining three sides?
Thanks!
Nan
