RE: THE BEST GARDEN BED FOR ANY TYPE OF PLANT, 'HUGELKULTUR'

in #homesteading7 years ago

I really enjoyed this article and am sharing with my husband. He went through a Permaculture training class, not for certification, back in CA. Now we're up inland PNW and started our hugelkultur beds in 2 semicircles, hoping to recreate something he saw from a permie in Montana (big bearded guy -can,'t remember his name now) where with the curved beds, he reflected and concentrated some of the elusive winter sun and successfully grew a citrus tree! Ambitious, but what the heck! Worth a try, right?

Thank you @crowbarmama! It is a great idea to use a key hole design to capture sun and reflect it. I could see how it would make a small micro climate and go up a few zones in that spot. Going to have to make some plans for that in the future.👍
