I flipped the sod on top of the
wood and then dumped the soil on top, and I'm still see grass growing in the
hugel. I've got clover growing in these beds mixed with some
straw mulch where the clover is lacking.
Should I worry?
Also, how do you plant hugels that have living mulches? Just chop/drop or some mild surface soil disturbance before planting?
Also, I have plenty of cherry and cedar logs. I was thinking of using this wood to make a hugel for the location i planned on planting only shrubs (like goumi and honeyberry) and perennials like Sea Kale and Multiplier Onions. I have the impression that perennials are more resilient so I imagine may better withstand any allelopaths in the soil. I've just read someone suggesting that this wood should not be an issue if not chipped. What do you think of this idea?
