Annual Hugelkultur Raised Bed Maintenance | Getting Ready For Spring Gardening!

Hugelkultur is natures raised bed. No need for lumber or concrete blocks. All you need is some tree trimmings or larger pieces of tree trunk along with any other compostable plant biomass, and finally some soil. The idea is that the "hugel mound" as it's often referred, will absorb winter rains like a sponge providing the plants growing on the hugel access to moister throughout the drier months. Older more mature mounds accomplish this better than younger mounds as the materials therein have had a chance to decay and breakdown. Other possible benefits include, easier access to garden beds because of their raised height, and soil creation that can help condition poor quality soils below. Hugelkultur can be a great way to "close the loop" in your landscape allowing you to utilize and get the most out of the organic materials that might otherwise go to the waste or burn pile.
