RE: Building Hugel Garden Beds - photo diary

in #permaculture7 years ago

Awesome looking garden and great use of the woody materials, @zinzen Love to see the permaculture action happening on steem. I made a hugle bed once, but it did not have any farmes, just one big mound that ran on contour and pointed mostly south. I also noticed that peppers didnt do well the first year. Nice idea to use buckwheat as a cover crop. Super cool! Looking forward to more posts.

Thanks @squdsi1, I've used winter rye as a cover crop in the past, but I've found buckwheat works best. You can just cut it and let it lay on the bed and it just mulches in. Got tons of seeds from it as well.
cheers,
