Penn State Master Gardeners present Hugelkultur Gardening - Classy and Cheap!
Hugelkultur is a German gardening technique that has become popular among no-till, no-dig enthusiasts worldwide. It is a proven process that follows the principles of permaculture. You've heard about many kinds of beds, but have you heard about a mound bed or a hill bed? Well, that is what "hugel" means: a hill bed. It's been around for over 100 years, mostly in Germany and Eastern Europe, but its roots really go way further back into biodynamic agriculture and the philosophical and esoteric teachings of Rudolph Steiner. It's a fascinating subject and technique that will help you fill your raised beds economically with composting logs and debris. It works on soil fertility, irrigation, and longer growing surfaces, and it uses resources in your own backyard.
