Two pictures, three years difference. These two hugelcultures are now growing some six elderberries, one grapevine, red potatoes, assorted greens and strawberries. It’s also become one of the places for seeds I’m not sure if viable.

I love projects where people show the results over a few years!  Thanks for showing them!

Hey thanks Orin! Something I wish I would have included is this spot gets four hours of sun a day max. It’s amazingly productive given its location. I’ve read that elderberries will not bloom if they don’t get enough sun. These are blooming great regardless. Before I made these this spot was in terrible shape due to erosion.
 
I child proofed my house but they still get in. Distract them with this tiny ad:
