But change is good, and due to a convergence of events, I find myself on the verge of hugeling. This past spring after renovating several terraced beds, the poor things looked sadly sunken, and we’d like to avoid the volume issue next year, when we redo two more beds. The beds are being dug out anyway and I have plenty of woody materials on hand, so I plan to gain the 12 inches (30cm) of loft I need at the bottom of the beds using hügelkultur methods. | But change is good, and due to a convergence of events, I find myself on the verge of hugeling.

My husband gets anxious when he sees the graph paper strewn about our dining table—he knows that I’m designing my latest garden expansion idea, and he’s going to be out there digging in just a few months. | |||
