What Do You Mean By Hugelkultur?
This sounds hilarious; it is a german term for hill mound. If done originally, you would have to dig up a not-too-deep pit and slowly make a narrow and long mound. Then, on the top of it, start mounding the logs, making a tall and long structure, which will have a lot of space for planting, much more than any other planting bed.
In the beginning, add bulk by the logs. And after they slowly decompose and the hills slowly start sinking, the logs, which are now rotten, will hold additional moisture. So when you plant out entirely, there will be less erosion of the soil’s top layer, and then it creates a small ecosystem.
When you make your hugelkultur bed, you will have to take wood logs to stuff your hugelkultur raised beds. However, like food leftovers, grass clippings, and coffee grounds, other stuff can also be stuffed if the wooden log cannot decompose in a fast manner.
