I need to teach my mate about hugelculture. He prunes his trees maples, arborvitaes and shrubs twice a year at least and build a huge brush burn pile. We have a wood chipper which he did run and use out in the small backyard orchard. How do I get him to look at that brush burn pile with new eyes? My garden is only 30x60 foot and good soil so I don't need hugel there. But I have a property that gets high groundwater and sometimes spring ponding and HUGEL would be great there.....but I need to flip a switch. Can you all point me to info on hugel culture so we can build hugel beds instead of brush burn piles? Thanks....
And on a side note, how do you get an avatar photo on your profile? Or are photos turned off? Thanks. This group is an awesome find!
