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. (This information was obtained from Wikipedia) I learned about Hugelkultur in an effort to get away from the traditional type of gardening where ;you did up an area and grow a few plants each year. My "area" has become infested with weeds and has made it very difficult to grow anything. | |||
