I would have turfed a bigger base for my hugelkultur bed, turfing at least one extra spade width on each side of the bed, maybe two, I also would have dug long turfs one spade blade wide, with not too much soil attached, so they could easily cover the logs and would stay in place. My turfs were too small and thick and were difficult to position on my steep hugelkultur base.

I also would have kept my turfs separate from my topsoil. I put all of mine on the same tarpaulin to begin with and separated them later.

Hugelkultur is my favorite method of growing. It’s easy, great for the environment, doesn’t require digging and produces a beautiful, sustainable, productive garden bed. It’s like an extreme version of composting in place, and it’s a really good way to start with permaculture techniques.

=====What Is Hugelkultur?=====

Hugelkultur, translated as “hill culture” in the German language, is a sustainable agriculture technique that uses woody materials, such as logs and twigs to grow a garden or a farm. Essentially, hugelkultur is nothing more than wood buried in soil that you grow plants on top of. These plants can consist of plants of all sorts, including annual and biennial vegetables and herbs, and perennial plants such as fruit trees. Hugelkultur beds can be made into raised beds and terraces.

=====Hügelkultur & Raised Bed Building=====

You can use just about anything EXCEPT old railroad ties or pressure treated wood. Naturally rot-resistant cedar landscape timbers are a popular choice; and metal frames are the good-looking new kids on the block. There are composite materials like Trex, which looks like lumber but is made of half recycled wood scraps and half recycled plastic, which is what my beds are framed with. The boards will last forever, and I really like the idea of buying the end stage result of recycling--especially keeping the plastic component out of our oceans and landfills. And many people just buy untreated pine landscape timbers, which like my rotting staves, will eventually become soil.

=====Create Rich Soil With Hugelkulture For Raised Beds=====

[https://dev.durablegreenbed.com/hugelkulture-for-raised-beds/ by Vanessa Salvia 2/3/21]

Whether you spell it hugel culture, hügelkulture, or hugelkultur, it’s pronounced hyoo-gul-culture. It’s a German word that means “hill culture” or “mound culture.” Germanic areas have practiced this method of creating rich soil for hundreds of years. You will typically see hugelkuture beds created from mounds of debris such as small branches or larger pieces of wood and leaves, but hugelkulture for raised beds is also possible and easy.

=====7 Things to Know About Hugelkultur Gardening=====

There’s something magical, even miraculous, about shepherding tiny seeds through the process of germination and growth. Gardeners reap plenty of tangible rewards—nutrient-rich and delicious vegetables and flowers that boost a home’s beauty inside and out—but this popular hobby provides benefits that go far beyond the salad bowl.
