Hugelkultur, pronounced hoo-gul-culture, is a German word for “hill culture.” It is a method of gardening that has been used in Germany and Eastern Europe for centuries. Essentially, it is a pile of decomposing wood covered in soil that creates a mound you can plant in. It is a common permaculture practice that mimics the nutrient cycling that happens in nature. | Hugelkultur, pronounced hoo-gul-culture, is a German word for “hill culture.” It is a method of gardening that has been used in Germany and Eastern Europe for centuries.

Hugelkultur High Bed offers the best of both worlds. When you build a giant kultur bed, you use wood to fill your raised bed with less than half the material. Other materials, such as grass clippings, food scraps, coffee grounds, etc., can be used to fill around the wood to speed up its decomposition process. On top of all this, you will add your preferred planting mix. | |||
