So I went searching for a self watering wicking design fro my seedling trays and stumbled upon this world of permies ! Wow what a week it has been especially discovering that the creator of this site is non other than the creator of Java Ranch which I have used on more than one occasion
So I am just a humble home gardener at the moment with aspirations of simplifying to ao country semi-homestead once I can retire. I have most of my garden space planned out however we are installing new beds for flowers and more veggie space and we have a lot of woody mass around and my wife and I would like to try our hand at a couple hugelkultur beds. I have some old pressurized landscape timbers but not old enough to have arsenic in them. Would these be okay to use in the lower layers of the bed ? I also have a lot of evergreen/holly brush trimmings that I can use or burn. I know that cedar is not good but not sure in general about evergreens.
thanks in advance !
Doug
