i need good pictures of hugelkultur beds for an article i'm writing

Jan 08, 2015 19:59:06

I am writing an article about hugelkultur for a magazine and I was wondering if anyone wants to cough up their pictures of their best hugelkultur beds for me to use with the article! I would of course credit your name in the article if you'd like me too! I would take pictures of the building process as well. AKA the wood piled up before you put the dirt on or anything like that.

Cheers!

Here's a link to a photo album of our hugelbed's construction:

I run the Hugelkultur page on facebook.. many of the readers have been posting their pictures for all to see.. Come on over to facebook to check them out, run through the timeline and in the section about posts from members.

Not sure how these images will post, but they show our different uses of hugel tech at our Graywood land.

We have endless wood, but not much soil. So to start we are stacking the wood to create shape for our area. The images show our hugel bridge (next to our little pond) and our giant snake shaped hugel and a hugel along one of our paths. I don't know if any of these photos will help you, but we've discovered a lot more uses than just piles to grow in.

Like I said, no soil, but we're preparing for it. And even if we don't get any soil, these piles will be somewhat soil like in say 15 years

Thanks everyone! Keep em coming!

Roxanne, are those pictures I could use though? I need permission from the people who own the pictures before I use them in an article.

You are more than welcome to use any of the pictures from my hugelkultur project thread.

Send us a link to the article you write. I would love to read it.

I've had zero luck in posting pictures in the last few months but you can see the ones I started a few years ago Here: There are a few pictures there about 1/3 down on the first page. If you send me a PM with an email address I can try to send you some pictures from this past year. Much more "food foresty" looking now.

Here is one, I don't have a picture of the building process unfortunately.

Here are a few more.

The two first are of the same bed, the last one is of the bed beside, but I don't have pictures of when we built it.

That looks great adrien. Do you have any pics of the first bed (in your most recent post) after it had been planted?

Jan 09, 2015 13:52:53

No, but I will ask my friend where these are if he does. It looks very similar, but was not planted as densely.

Hi Cassie,

My friend and fellow permie Julie Ashmore, has a great blog with excellent photos on exactly this topic. She has been experimenting on deeper in the ground "upside down hugels" (sort of) her blog link is here:

and I know she has posted in permies before, so you could contact her to see if you could use some of her great photos (and enjoy her blog too).

Thanks for all the contributions everyone! I went with a few of Mike Sved's, a few of Adrien's, and a few of Craig's. I sent the article off to the editor today so it will be published soon. I will report back here when it is! Thanks again.

A few photos of our current project.

Chris has 3 apples and Monika has 4 apples. With this tiny ad they can finally make a pie!
