hey man I like your videos especially cause your doing huglekultur, which I think is the best way to go in south or west texas where the weather is hot and dry, I've done this techinque myself and it definately makes a difference my tomato plants were loving life. I did the same think i dug fill it with branches and lots of tree leaves then used the same dirt or shoveled out back on top but before i I covered i filled the hole with water then covered it. I'm sold on this method. keep them videos coming. .
Thanks for the comment! It's good to hear that someone else has had some success with hugelkultur. I just planted several tomato plants in mine yesterday, along with some other stuff. I plan on making more and more hugel mounds as I get time here and there, but I really want to see how this first one performs through the summer.
i had a tree trimming company deliver me large 2 mounds of palm tree cuttings. asked them how much is cost to take to the local dump area they said about 80 to 100. I said give me $20 and dump them at my place and worked. someones trash is someone elses treasure.
Wow, they gave you $20! I'd be reluctant to ask, because I don't want to lose my source. I reached out to several arborists in my area, and two companies responded back and have delivered chips. Both seem happy to get it off their hands, and if they are having to pay $100 to take it to the dump, I can see why!
For some reason this comment ended up in the 'Held for review' section, so I'm just now seeing it. Yes, that was one of my earliest videos around the time I decided to start documenting. It was shortly after I started discovering gardening videos on RUclips and learning as much as I could. Channels like James Prigioni's videos inspired me to document and share; Watching a normal guy converting his backyard into an abundant food forest was the coolest thing.
@@WestTexasGardenExperiment thank you, we are doing the same kinda,on those days where we feel like we are spinning our wheels, we just look back at day 1. In a comment I made of your videos later, the difference was astonishing. You're giving us hope and encouragement . Again thanks brother.
Oops, saw these comments in the 'held for review' area again even after I approved the original comment. Glad you are seeing some differences when bingeing my videos, I wish plants grew as fast in this climate as they does in more temperate or tropical areas but I'm doing my best with what nature deals me. I just noticed you had some videos posted; I'll check them out!

Is this the beginning point?

I have heard of it, but haven't tried making them.
