Hi friends 🙏 a buddy and I just began putting in a 16 ft X 5ft hugelkultur bed, 2 ft deep, filling with decently seasoned hackberry logs, ramail material, kitchen scraps, leaves and maybe some manure at some point. We have been burying the dug up sod upside down on top of the wood. I also sprinkled some wood ash in there. Are there particular crops that take to new beds? Should the manure be worked in a bit to prevent burning of plants?
Any thoughts or insight appreciated! Feels wonderful.
