Our raised beds will be completely redesigned this spring. We are adding new beds, new ideas, etc. Watch what creates some of our ideas, and hopefully generate some ideas of your own. Video...
yeah! would love to? see it!
I would love to see? pictures this spring!! 🙂
Check the forums at permies. We have at least two threads talking about which woods are good? and which are not so good. The discussion is long and rich.
What sort of wood is good for hugelkulture or raised beds, and what type of wood to avoid, for example if pine is good or? bad, or oak is good or bad for it?
Thank you!
any photos or updates from this planting? awesome ?
yeah paul its really soothing….”all the time” lol I love that – its like a? nice exhalation
As Paul said, railroad ties are toxic, they are impregnated in creosote, wich is carcinogenic by touch or by breathing near it. Some garden centers sell these ties for gardening, DON’T BUY THEM! you will regret it in the long run. Greetings from Basque ? Country and apologies for my lowsy english.
how? did this turn out
Damn, never heard of? anything like this before.
Try? saying THAT three times fast…
No. Railroad? ties are caked in toxic gick.
wondering if they could? use railroad ties instead of bulky tree stumps?
when they took out by machine all the spruce they cut on my woodlot, they bury a lot of branch and trees in the soil( almost pure sand) after two years their is between 1 foot and 2 feet of black soil with? a lot of organic matters in it. I figure in one or two years their will be only rich earth at this place.
Stop DoC and the so called Animal Health Board (AHB) from spreading 1080 poison over our forests, streams and? waterways.

Since my initial posting I? planted cedar trees and buried kindling around the root balls. I am hoping that the roots will grow between them and the wood will break down before they get too much in the way. I also put cedar mulch around the trees so there may be no way of knowing whence came any benefit.
I’m not an expert on this technique, but planting burying logs in the soilm around existing trees seems? like it may be far more disruptive to the roots & soil web like beneficial soil fungi. If you try it, please share the results.
Hmm, I built something smaller than this and? someone was quite sure I used too much wood. I’m using less wood than you are.
don’t use? cedar in the hugelkultur. it doesn’t have to be raised, but there are other perks.
Why does it have to be? a raised bed or mound? I was thinking about burying some logs under and around my cedar trees to give them a constant source of moisture. Any thoughts?
I used to be the voice for station ID and stuff for KEOL! Apparently they used my voice? for many years. Not sure if they still do.

Have? you done any professional voice work? Your voice is amazing.
thats? why they plant grass on piles of dirt…so they wont blow away.
Cotton? Wood . . . contains sufficient nitrogen . . . surrounding nitrogen leaching is somewhat minimized.
you might wanna check the full article at richsoil.com and the forums at permies.com. In? a nutshell, plant the soil immediately – the roots will hold the soil.
