How to Create a Hügelkultur Raised Garden

Let nature establish a thriving ecosystem in your garden using the Hügelkultur technique. Compost, bed prep, and participate in permaculture practices all at the exact same time! My secret to getting happy, healthy plants for years at no extra cost to me! This is an introduction to using the Hügelkultur style of composting to re-purpose organic materials and create a mounded raised garden bed you can start planting on today. The layered Hügelkultur system decomposes slowly and naturally and releases nutrients while adding warmth which benefits the plants growing above. This technique can be used to improve soil quality and assist with water retention in the soil as it decomposes. Check out the podcast episode going into more detail on today's video episode!
