Hugelkultur. A big funny word for a scandanavian gardening technique. We are going to give it a shot! The premise is to put old rotting wood on the bottom with layers of compost and old papers and cardboard and straw. Then soil on top. The boys helped me maneuver big packing crates into position by our greenhouse. (Can you believe we got them for free off Craigslist?) Then we layered all the stuff like a big lasagna. So far we have peas, beans, cucumbers planted. Going with hubby to get lots more crates on Monday. The big advantage is the beds are raised so no crouching! Get out in the earth and plant something..it will do you good.
