I just pledged to this kickstarter, here in my home city - it looks to be a solid project by people who know what they are doing. They are using mycelia remediation to reclaim contaminated soil, which I had never heard of....just though this might be something you guys might like to read about and maybe support.

I've decided - without going back to my books to confirm any of the things I think I know, and of course I am willing to undecide - that Hugelkultur is the story behind the worldwide unexplained "pre-history" (a sillier phrase is hard to find) mounds all over the place. The Fertile Crescent area invention or discovery of agriculture discussed in endless college texts and beloved by all is actually the perversion of healthy, sustainable agriculture as represented by Hugelkultur and the like.
