- One year down, infinity to go! We've had a great first year. Not perfect, but gardening with Nature never is. We look forward to growing more veggies in these hügelkultur beds for many years to come!

That’s the thing, mulching and decomposing organic matter always seems to keep nutrients generally in good levels. Sure it is way more complicated with several moving parts “under the hood” but over all it is quite simple. Good to see how well your garden is doing.
Thanks Siloe! It will be interesting to do another soil test next year and see if there’s a pattern emerging.
Well they say 2024 is going to be very dry. I'm southern Alberta, and there isn't much snow on the Rockies (Dec 25th), so it isn't looking good here. We are wetland, so we're irrigated. They shut off the water 3 weeks early in Sept. So those beds are very worthwhile. Thanks for sharing.🇨🇦
👍
Perennials like brambles and raspberries don't have a problem with subsiding soil levels. They make new shoots from the ground each year. No need to have fear for nitrogen deficiences in a fresh hugelkultur bed if you start with beans. They make their own nitrogen just like the clover cover crop you used at the start of your mounds. I bet you can even use your maple tree stump as the center for a hugel. Drilling a lot of holes downwards, maybe even chiseling out a bowl in the center and mounding up around the stump, which is, with all the roots below, an instant hugel. Keep on going. I only piled up a mound with buxus hedge root balls, filled a bathtub with hugel stuff for raspberries and use beans as a first whenever I set up a new raised bed with lot of brown material in it. Best wishes, stay safe, greetings from Holland
Thanks for the advice! Yes, the legumes do very well to start a new hügel bed. I’ve already chopped out a bowl in the center of the maple stump to use for a stump planter next year. The decaying roots will continue to feed whatever we grow around there for many years. Happy growing, stay safe and thanks for watching!
Maybe bring some sheep in March April to eat the cover crop, fertilize and aerate the upper layer of soil. Then plant your crops!
If only we could! Unfortunately that's not an option for us.
Wonderful editing and content. Wishing you lots more subscribers! Surprised it’s only 5k
Aw, thanks! It's taking awhile, but I'll keep working at it.
good clear update
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing. I will try it in sections of my yard, near the perimeter wall. Its been poor nutritionally since the wall was built. I think over time this method will add some nutrients to the soil so I can plant some fruit trees on the beds.
I found a place I can get wood mulch and sawdust for a reasonably cheap price. I already have access to goat, dog and chicken manure. Lots to experiment with.
That all sounds great, I hope you have success with it!
I think having some chickens or guinea's for pest control as well as their dropping for fertilizers would be beneficial.
It sure would! We can’t have chickens right now, but I would love to someday if we move out to the country.
I am so glad to have found your channel, as I am learning a lot about hugelkultur, permaculture etc! We are planning on moving to Sweden next year, and when we buy a property, this would be an amazing place to build some of these. One question, you chopped the clover and used it as chop and drop mulch. Didn't it grow back? or did you something to prevent that?
That’s great! And I admit I’m a bit jealous that you get to move to Sweden, it looks beautiful there. The clover does keep coming back, so you have to keep trimming it down around the veggie crops. But it provides great ground cover for the season and eventually dies off. Best of luck with your new garden!
Thank you so much for replying! @@SomeRoomtoGrow
Cool video, thanks for sharing all the good information with us! You need a couple 3 chickens to get rid of them beetles and worms, no? Would they also eat the veggies?
You’re welcome, thanks for watching! I would love to have chickens, we’re just not sure how we would do it at this house. Maybe some day!
You should try doing a tall hugalkultur mound Ive seen people build a frame out of pallets for this Its about as tall as you are and it is great for planting strawberrys that need to stay off the dirt
If we ever move to a property with more land, I’d love to try more hügelkultur and other garden experiments.
@@SomeRoomtoGrow I've been watching all your videos today Im glad to have found your channel I've had luck in the past growing fruit and veg I grew stuff at our old place and I help my mom grow stuff at their house but we where renting and covid hit so we had to move in with my inlaws for financial aid and I havent been able to grow anything and get my hands dirty and I didnt realise how sad it was making me. My husband just got a better job so we are looking for a place with a bit of land so I can start the food forest like I've always wanted to. Your videos have really cheered me up today and helped me with some ideas for the next year
I’m glad you like the videos! That’s why I love making them. I hope you can have a big food forest when you find a new home!
I too am going to try this out a little. I think it'll be better for you next year. I planted over the top of a chicken body and produced a weird corn plant with four ears coming out of the same spot. I wonder the difference between plant and animal matter.
Awesome, I hope it works well for you! I know there’s a method of planting trees with a dead animal in the hole, but I still don’t know if it’s a good idea or not. The plant matter seems to work very well.
@@SomeRoomtoGrow Well, that funny looking corn suggests that it had too much nitrogen.
I don’t understand the clover part. Are clovers supposed to be good for gardens? Isn’t it just a weed? Sorry new to gardening.
No need to apologize! Yes, clovers are often seen as weeds but they are very good for the soil and for attracting pollinator insects. Clovers fix nitrogen into the soil through bacteria that live on their roots. They’re a very common cover crop to use for improving soil fertility.
