Hello everyone
I'm relatively new to the
Permaculture world, although I have been involved with growing plants all my life.
Last year I built a new, what I thought was a mound,
hugelkultur bed without knowing it. The base of the bed is full of rotten
wood, branches and some old blackberry canes. I placed about 30-40 cu yards of soil on top of this and used it as a squash mound last year. It produced over 1000 lbs...
It's a funny spot, north sloping growing area so creating a south facing growing area required a fair amount of soil depth on the downhill side.
I'm going to build another one of these beside this one and maintain a path for walking and frost flow..I'll take images as its built. This new bed will be planted in more of a
perennial (traditional if you like)
permaculture fashion.
Ow, the north side just received a heavy planting of Comfrey last week-end
ps Thanks
