Join us to learn a practical way to create nutrient-rich, water-retentive raised beds using waste materials, ideal for sustainable gardening and temporary setups from Lori Caldwell. “Hügel” means “mound hill” in German, referring to the gardening technique hügelkultur. This method creates raised beds using organic “waste” materials, making it sustainable and efficient. Hügelkultur is perfect for renters as it can be set up temporarily. It starts with a base of logs or branches, topped with plant debris, compost, and soil. The decomposing wood retains moisture and enriches the soil, reducing the need for frequent watering and enhancing plant growth.

Mind you, they’ve found one or two Teutonic knights buried under those mounds over the years.
I compost, but I am always leery of attracting termites by storing a decomposing wood pile anywhere near the house, even a lightly buried one.
Valid point. Same. We use those spinnable composters and they do the job without bringing in uninvited critters.
