For those looking to create a long-lasting, nourishing, and healthy plant bed in their gardens might be interested in the age-old practice of hugelkultur, or mound culture. It refers to planting flowers, vegetables, or fruits on raised beds made with waste matter.
A tradition that originated in Eastern Europe and Germany, this practice is all about creating no-dig raised beds with a difference. Filled with organic matter, these beds hold moisture, build fertility, maximize surface volume, and are great spaces for growing just about anything. It encourages sustainability, recycling and leads to the most healthy, fertile soil that rarely needs fertilization.
