Hugelkultur has fascinated me, especially being because while I have a bad back due to an accident, I have trouble bending over a lot. So the raised beds of
Hugelkultur has me intrigued! My main concern is that I like the idea of being able to grow any food, all year round, inside a
Greenhouse, rather than only specific times throughout the year.
I recently seen another Gardening style of Keyhole Gardens, which I find is very similar to Hugelkultur, but less
wood is used, and is dependent on composting items inside the cage in the center "Keyhole" area of the Circular Garden. (Example below)
I was wondering, if you used the same concept of Hugelkultur inside these Keyhole Gardens (a full circle instead of a portion cut out), and used a
bucket with holes drilled in to it, to pour the
water into (instead of the
compost cage). Would a
Greenhouse around the Hugelkultur bed work? You can have rainwater drained from the roof into the buckets. Or, in areas that you get too much rain, a rainwater catchment system, with some kind of water irrigation system into the center buckets of each?
Would this work for a Hugelkultur bed inside a Greenhouse?
