Add some mycorrhizae when putting the wood in to speed the decomposition process, these are the microbes that extend root systems in a symbiotic relationship with plant species. They will turn that whole bed into one giant mycelial biomass that transports not only water but also minerals and nutrients to wherever the plants need them. this gives you an idea of the difference, and this shows you the extent that these microbial lifeforms extend the rootsystems. | Add some mycorrhizae when putting the wood in to speed the decomposition process, these are the microbes that extend root systems in a symbiotic relationship with plant species.

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. | |||
