I'm looking for advise on a convenient time to set my hugelkultur beds. I'm in zone 6b (Shenandoah Valley of Virginia) and trying to decide whether to start now (late summer) or wait to early spring. I think there are advantages to getting the system going now, perhaps using cover crops for nitrogen fixation, but I can also see advantages to polyculturing at once if I wait. What's the common consent on this?
