In this episode, I show you how to make planting containers on the cheap, incorporating a hugelkultur design into the containers.

So glad I saw you do it that way because that is how I did my 24 in raised beds. Made sense to me to do it that way with all the wood and leaves i have on my place. Thanks!
Awesome video. I like your suggestions. If you'd like to check out my video on Hugelkultur, I'd appreciate it. https://youtu.be/xFIaHKsxb2I
love your garden and your channel name, nerd here too! subscribed, cheers!
New subscriber here. I love container gardening
I just started doing this a couple weeks ago, exactly like you did in the bucket. My plan is to plant simple things like tomatoes for the first year and slowly let the wood decompose. Next year I'll use them more seriously.
Have you tried adding worms?
Would semi burnt logs and charcoal be better to use in a hugelkultur bed than non burnt logs?
Awesome video!!
Thanks for the video. I want to do more containers this year and like you said, it gets expensive. The thought just came to me today that maybe hugelkultur would work in large containers. Looked to see if I could find someone doing this. Sounds like it will work.
I reckon if you compacted the spaces between the heavy logs and sticks with cow manure, that would cover your nitrogen issues and assist in breaking down the larger wood with the addition of bacteria from the poopy. then you layer as normal.
Can I plant in the the first year???? Thanks
Us black folks be planting fruits trees just like dis or plant Dem in a round hay bales
Love the 12 bar blues. I will use your method. Cheers
Great info, nice vid BUT music under your teaching is very distracting
