Hello all,
A friend of mine is a partner in a 1,300 acre property in CA, outside of Yosemite. It is a high risk fire area and they are constantly clearing dead trees and brush. A lot of it has to be burned in the winter because it is too large for chipping. While a huge bonfire is fun and solved the problem of getting rid of what becomes dry season tinder, it seems like a waste. Does anyone know of any large-scale hugelkultur examples? .
To me it seems doable. The land is already quite contoured naturally, and has creeks and ponds and lots of different environments. They have heavy equipment on the property.
