I can see distinct advantages to having one 24 ft hugel rather than four 6 ft hugels in many places. In Katherine Quick's case, it could be one 18 ft, since it's 3 people. However, I will suggest that one of the things that bugs the people who have to verify submitted BB's, please make sure you're measurements are *very* clear and well documented, and I recommend you be generous, so there is no need to wonder if it really is big enough. For pictures, I'd recommend that you use some sort of temporary way to mark the hugel as to the three sections. It could be as simple as a row of flowers planted for the bees!Malek Beitinjan wrote:When I earned this BB at the SKIP event, four of us did it at the same time by making a very long hugel - it was 7 feet tall and wide, and 24 feet long so that the total size could be divided into four portions, one for each individual.

Opalyn, I'm not really sure what you're describing, but I'm happy to follow an alternative, equivalent method. Do you have a link to anywhere describing how to do water canning without a bath?
