I'm looking to build some raised beds early this summer. Not full-on
hugelkultur mounds (although I am also going to try to build those) but more traditional raised beds.
There are lot of rotten logs on our property, and in most places we can't dig very deep before hitting a bunch of rocks. I was thinking of using some of the rotten
wood to help fill up the raised beds in addition to digging up soil from other places to fill them.
This is a cold area, and sometimes when people bury things (like in garbage pits) the stuff eventually ends up being pushed back to the surface.
While it is cold, there is no permafrost. Most years there is also good snow cover.
I'm thinking that since the wood will be wet and heavy it will probably stay relatively put, especially if it is below the natural soil line.
What do you folks think?
