With a bit of effort, you can create a hügelkultur (pronounced hoo-gul-culture) garden, a kind of sustainable raised bed that works even in small yards. It’s a technique that took off in Germany and Eastern Europe and has gained aficionados around the world for its eco-friendly approach. | With a bit of effort, you can create a hügelkultur (pronounced hoo-gul-culture) garden, a kind of sustainable raised bed that works even in small yards.

When I moved on to my plot, I inherited a leylandii trunk that was far too big to cut up by hand. It was at best something to perch on, which is exactly what I did with it until I read Sepp Holzer's Permaculture (Permanent Publications, £18.95). Here I found my solution: a raised bed that looks after itself. Powered by rotting wood, it needs no feeding or watering for years. It's called hugelkultur, and it works remarkably well. | |||
