Building Hugel Beds - Permaculture Gardening
This project began in September 2016
First we cleared a space.
Next we built the bed frames.
Then we filled the beds with logs and brush.
Next we filled them with sod, dirt and horse manure. (Added 2 more beds)
First season 2017 - After a cover crop of buckwheat to set the soil we got great crops of cabbage, tobacco, onion, tomato, catnip, stevia, and broccoli. The corn, cauliflower and peppers did not do very well. In the fall of 2017 we added an arbor and Japanese garden in the center.

Big plans to expand in 2018~!
