You have a head start on me. I only heard about Hugelkulur about August or so. by that time my raised bed was already suffering fro m the heat and lack of rain. We had a wet spring but without knowing how to save the
water on my
land my plants were suffering.
I agree it is fun! I started looking around my
yard for abandoned logs and moving them to my future beds.On top of some of them was a 30 year old brush pile. Others had accumulated leaves,etc. They all were partially rotten, great! This old lady worked off and on ever since then when the weather cooperates with my busy schedule. I have to space out my
energy use so I don't get exhausted. By now I have quite a long but low expanse almost ready for the dirt topping. I am still working on the forest duff which was under the brush. By planting time I
should have some of it ready and sa the season warms up I hope to have it all ready.
On your blog you introduced me to another new word = frass. Now I will include all the insects I find in my duff instead of leaving them behind. Your experiece and pictures have really encouraged me.
