Hugelkultur Comparison

Two years in to my hugel experience and you can clearly see the difference between it and the regular beds. There are two zucchs plants with 7' vines and they have produced a lot of fruit! Under their broad leaves, kale, spinach and other salad items are growing. I'm convienced!

Hi Bruce,
Very impressive vines, thank you for sharing - are there Zucchini planted in the non-hugel beds? What sort of treatment did those 'regular' beds get?

Howdy,

The “regular bed” has mostly crap dirt with one a layer of home grown compost and one bag of nutrient based soil. Big difference, right?  

Happy growing!

That looks like a huge difference. How much do you think the sun shade might be a factor?

Not much because we has a lot of wildfires here this year.
