You might also want to consider who best could utilize this information... for example, I have started to send the link to tree companies around town asking if they know about this. As I understand it from a few of the tree companies that have worked in the neighborhood, they just take the tree material to the dump. (I had asked before I knew about hugelkultur myself). What I would like to see happen is that these companies take it to abandoned lots in the wards and create community gardens. I have also been thinking of sending the link to some city/state officials. If I had the time, I would go to some of the city planning meetings to discuss the idea that each time the city trims the trees for electricity lines, that the wood be donated to community gardens to create little hugelkultur community gardens which do not require watering. Especially since we have had some horrible droughts the last couple of years.
The hugelkultur link also needs to be sent to every farmer to see if they would be willing to try one little row of it for themselves and see if works for them and to find out what they think of it. I think if they see the results they might think about using it in their own practices (though, if that does happen, new equipment will probably need to be created for those who use machines to harvest).
But mainly, I'd like to see the city planning and the tree companies to get together to create hugelkultur gardens in all the wards and in all the community gardens. I would like to see it be illegal to send those tree trimmings to the dump.
If others would consider writing to their own local city officials, tree cutting companies, and farmers, oh AND local landscape architects, then the word could get spread by those who are in the position to maybe have the greatest impact.
