Hügelkultur is of German and Eastern European origin. It is pronounced “hoogle-culture” and translates to mound or hill culture. It’s a practice that has existed for thousands of years and dates back to the Middle Ages. In 1962, the term “hügelkultur” was first published in a German gardening book. It is an excellent way of using debris and resources from your property to help create healthy and high-yielding garden spaces, especially if your existing soil has low fertility and poor health. You are building a self-sustaining ecosystem as your garden bed. | Hügelkultur is of German and Eastern European origin. It is pronounced “hoogle-culture” and translates to mound or hill culture.
