Thanks for the replies
Sorry I don't know the species, I think there is over 200 species or more - some bad - some not so bad. I think the best idea would be to build the beds at least 10 metres from the house - I like the idea that the beds could divert the termites away from the house. I've got a wattle that fell over - might chop that up & give it a go.
Cheers
I,m in Australia & live in the bush & we have lots of termites. I want to try some hugelkultur beds near my house, but am worried they will attract termites- the little buggers even get into hay bales . Has anyone had problems with termites?
