Hugelkultur Course )) Downsides ) Weeds Gone Wild

I did this short video about a negative part of hugelkultur raised beds.  When you completely dig out and disturb the soil completely, it signals the weeds to spring up and start healing and repairing the damage.

It is a fact that I am learning as I study more Soil Science, especially from Elaine Ingham.

I highly suggest this form of raised bed garden.  Though it takes some effort to build, it will last for decades and can be planted on immediately.

Look up Your Community Gardens

I’ve rented two community garden plots in the past couple of months.  I urge everyone to search out your local ones.  My plots were abandoned, but had good soil.  One was 65$ a year and one was $31 a year.  You can be isolated on them and are on the essential list.  Look up no-dig and go for it.

JBro Gardening: Don't be afraid to densely pack your seeds together. They do fine and you get more veggies! Just be sure you don't have high plants blocking the sun to the low plants (unless the low plants are low sun).
