I posted about this 2 years ago, here. I've used the Hugelkultur bed for two seasons now, This will be my third. I think it is finally losing height. I was amazed at how slow that process has been. This year, I decided to put a strawberry patch on it. All around it is lots of mulchy things from last year and I've got all the plants nicely tucked in with mulch. These are ever bearing strawberries. I hope it will work!
Looking forward to seeing your harvest! This tpye of garden bed holds such interest.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Melynda. I'm excited about the possibilities, not only of having nice strawberries, but doing it with much less work trying to keep the weeds from taking over.
DeleteGreetings from New Zealand. I have just started to build my first Hugelkultur garden yesterday. Today's horrible weather has forced me to stay inside, and i can't wait to get cracking with it Looking forward to reading how yours goes this season!!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! Thank you! Be patient with it. Mine wasn't that great at first, but it improves over time.
