Paul Wheaton, the Duke of Permaculture, and Beau Davidson, two experts on hugelkultur, will go live this Friday, May 29th at 9 AM Mountain Time to talk all things hugelkultur!

If you have questions about hugelkultur, this is your chance to ask them. Respond to this thread with them!

Hugelkultur is one of those beautifully simple permaculture techniques that can do a lot: hold water, build soil, grow food, make use of woody material, and create long-term fertility. But there are also a lot of details that can make the difference between a hugel bed that thrives and one that struggles.

Paul and Beau will be digging into practical experience, design choices, common mistakes, and the many ways hugelkultur can be adapted to different sites, soils, climates, and goals.

Bring your questions about:

- How to build a good hugelkultur bed
- What kind of wood to use
- How hugelkultur helps with water retention
- Common mistakes and how to avoid them
- Planting into hugel beds
- Using hugelkultur in gardens, homesteads, and larger permaculture systems

Live this Friday, May 29th at 9 AM Mountain Time
