I'm experimenting with hugelkultur in my my grow pots. I don't have enough soil to fill them (they're 30 gallons) so I got a bunch of sticks and wood chips from my local wood drop-off site. I'm topping with shredded cardboard, paper bags and raised bed gardening mix. I'll probably feed throughout the season while growing to compensate for the nitrogen loss. Can't wait to see what comes from your bed!

This is so good! I have some soft maples that are at the end of their life. They've got borer beetles and half the limbs have fallen off. Will they be ok to use or will they hurt my garden since htey're in such bad shape. I don't think they're diseased

Thanks for the inspiration

Keyhole garden comes from Lesotho. It wasn’t brought to the continent.
