Hügelkultur (German pronunciation: [ˈhyːɡl̩kʊlˌtuːɐ̯]) is a horticultural technique where a mound constructed from decaying wood debris and other compostable biomass plant materials is later (or immediately) planted as a raised bed. Adopted by permaculture advocates, it is suggested the technique helps to improve soil fertility, water retention, and soil warming, thus benefiting plants grown on or near such mounds. | Hügelkultur (German pronunciation: [ˈhyːɡl̩kʊlˌtuːɐ̯]) is a horticultural technique where a mound constructed from decaying wood debris and other compostable biomass plant materials is later (or immediately) planted as a raised bed.

Upon his retirement from engineering in 1975, Bartholomew became interested in gardening, but the more he got into it, the more inefficient he found it to be. Gardening has long been accomplished in rows, which Bartholemew found to be wasteful, and difficult to work. Using his engineering know-how, Bartholomew came up with a method of gardening that could be accomplished in a tiny backyard or patio, and which required only 10 percent of the water of a row garden. | |||
