Hey, I have access to an unlimited supply of oldish grape vine stumps. Can anyone tell me how fast they decompose? Good/bad water absorption? How much should I put in my hugelkultur beds?
Thanks!

Based on what I heard from Paul, the type of wood is not really critical. I think he and Neil Bertrando mention about the content of the hugelkultur raised beds in podcast 172.
 
It sure was nice of your sister to lend us her car. Let's show our appreciation by sharing this tiny ad:
