Hi Everyone! One thing I’ve been really confused about since researching Hugelkultur is that in a sense, the compost pile is built on top of the logs, and then covered. Some questions I have are:
Can it be planted in immediately or do you have to wait? If so, is it less effective than composting and applying that compost?
I’m trying to figure out how to amend my sandy soil. I’m not sure if building a hugelkultur bed and adding a bunch of organic matter to it would be best or if I should wait a bit more for my compost to be finished and supplement with purchasing some materials? Or perhaps a combination of do the hugelkultur bed and mulch when my compost is finished? This is also going in a partially shaded area, not sure if that makes a difference.
