Hugelkultur!
March 22, 2021
On the rainiest of rainy days, a few brave souls got together to build a sweet raised bed out of rotting wood, green garden waste and compost. Hugelkultur is German for “hill culture” and it’s a great way to use rotting wood’s capacity to store water to your advantage. The quick and dirty: lay rotting logs in a line, add brush material on top, then a layer of nitrogen-rich green materials, then soil, then compost, then soil, then plant! Of course there’s more to it than that, check out our Site Manager’s more detailed blog post about it here. Huge thanks to Vic High’s garden club who provided the site for this little hugel demo and who helped with the build!
