"Step aside Viggo Mortensen"...
I have a new foreign love interest.
I am crazy head over heels in love with,
Hugel Kultur!
(Actually, it is just a singular name,
sort of like Prince...
sort of like Prince...
when Prince was just plain 'ol "Prince".)
Meet Mr. "Hugelkultur."
Yes, he's German and his name means "hill culture".
Here is a lovely depiction of my new hardworking hunk...
The concept of our love stems from all the naturally decomposing materials
under the soil stacked as high as you wish to go.
And boy does he work hard!
Everything grown in this luscious environment is huge...organic and huge!
(Those are 2 terms rarely paired together on an organic farm, but oh so desired for a hunk.)
The produce grows healthy and gigantic, without any of that fake miracle grow.
A typical mound is about 20' in diameter and 1-2' tall.
To tell you the truth, I've never seen my beans and squash looking so large and full.
Underneath the pine straw is a layer of dirt from grass I dug out of my garden,
and underneath the dirt is a pile of old branches,
that I cut down two years ago.
It was an eye sore on Le Farm, until this eye candy came around!
It doesn't take much to make a big difference
in the quality of whatever you have growing in it.
I created another Hugelkultur bed for cukes and mustard greens.
They are also doing fabulous; bigger and better than previous years.
Permaculture "groupies" talk about Hugelkultur and have forever, it seems.
It's the original raised bed. It's not a new concept, but I've never seen any farmer use it.
(He's rocked the hippie world for quite some time.)
I'm just glad he's rocking mine, now!
