Here’s how I used Hugelkultur in my https://savanagarden.com/ raised garden bed: https://amzn.to/3hHnUBU Hugelkultur is the ancient, traditional practice of creating layers of organic material, from logs to garden clippings, to cardboard and compost, and finally topsoil. There are many benefits to using this practice, where the organic materials break down over time to create a mini-ecosystem full of beneficial insects and organisms – not to mention the fact that you end up saving money, by filling the bed with layer upon layer of materials instead of expensive purchased soil.
