hugel in recycled pallet garden

The Alliance Historic Model Farm in New Jersey recently deconstructed 6 recycled wood pallet raised garden beds to relocate to a sunnier location.

In breaking down the garden walls you can really see how well the Hügelkultur method worked! Rich compost and soil retained moisture as layers of leaves and branches decomposed below 🍂

Great pictures, Daniel.
This is just exactly what I have been building, so I like to see those great results.
Do you know how long the beds were used in that location?

Thanks!

From William who runs this farm:

"We used those beds for 2 years beginning spring 2022, topping with a little fresh compost mix in spring 2023. We will likely rebuild the same style raised beds at the new location. We also plan to do a lawn waste compost pile there too."

Thank you so much!
