I am interested in the best way to make a garden bed that can be directly planted into. I made 5 Hugelkultur beds in January and I planted into them at the beginning of March but I think they needed more time to ripen. The plants seem to be having trouble getting nutrients and growing roots.
But more importantly I got some soil and want to make a garden bed that I can plant into for this summers growing season. We live on a property that is primarily sand under a pine forest. Do I need to put some type of liner down?
We have chickens and a lot of wood material and dried leaves. If I do a lasagna style bed could I plant directly into it?
