Are you aware that the city offers free wood chip mulch? Might be useful to y'all. There are two locations but I've only gone to the Nelson Gardens Recycling Center. Only downside is there's often bits of plastic or other trash mixed in

Here's a couple lizard wows - An Anole with a split tail and a prairie lizard. Natural blues are always amazing.
And a bonus spider-wow, check what's in their mouth!

I'm also interested in some seeds if/when they are available! :)

This is my first Hugel bed, I'm in South Texas so I did a buried style. Hopefully it works! The bed is about 2.5ft deep. The long side is oriented north-south so it gets max sun through the day. I'm planning on planting some moringa and/or a trellis on the west side to help protect against that afternoon heat.

The underground portion is mostly bigger logs, with random bits of chopped opuntia and cow manure. The mound part has some smaller sticks/branches, more manure, and coffee grounds. My only concern is that I didn't put enough smaller material on the upper layers

Any suggestions are welcome 😀
