I built a
hugelkultur up at
Wheaton Labs. It was quite a satisfying
experience, and using the excavator was super fun! Excited to see how it looks in a year.
I planted the following seeds: Buckwheat, Crimson Clover, Alfalfa, Winter Peas, Alsike clover,
Rose clover, Common vetch, Red cow peas, cherry pit, English peas, White dutch clover, Delicatta squash, and the requisite dozen
Sepp Holzer grains. I also planted 3 each of comfrey and sunchokes.
The wood was sourced from different brush piles and logs near the Wofati. Some needed to be cut down to size using the chainsaw. I believe that they were all pine logs, since that's the primary tree species on the property.
My mulches were a mixture of grasses that I don't know the name of, knapweed, pine branches, and some barley.
