Unexpected Results Revealed: Pulling Apart Hügelkultur Raised Beds

In the spring of 2022 we built some raised beds out of dead pine trees and filled them with all sorts of logs, sticks, twigs, leaves and vines – a method called hügelkultur.

We now want to make some design improvements to one of our beds in particular which meant pulling everything apart. This gave us the chance to see what happens to logs, sticks, and twigs that are buried in a raised bed after two years. The results were quite surprising!

Join us for a day in the garden as undo and redo this raised bed to add some vole proofing and sow a few spring veggies along the way.
