RE: Permaculture gardening: Building a hugelkultur.

in #permaculture6 years ago

That's fabulous @nerdi! I have watched with interest how passionately @nateonsteemit works on his hugelkultur and thanks to his resteeming your post I can get even more of an idea of how it works. I don't know that we'd get it right on our homestead. The ground is hard and we're suffering a bad drought in our corner of South Africa but I am inspired

Sort:  

I'm really curious what would happen if you built one in spite of the drought. Swales and hugelkultur are a huge part of what Geoff Lawton is doing on his "greening the desert" project in Jordan, and the successes he's having there are absolutely phenomenal. Quite literally a forest being made on top of rock faces in the middle of the Jordanian desert.

Thanks for the resteem, @nateonsteemit ! :)

Yeah, what Nate says :D, just try it, even if it is just a small hugel!
