Micro Garden | 2 Week Update | High Intensity Garden
Time for the first update on our Micro Garden! We are 2 weeks into the micro garden and most of our seeds have sprouted and have really taken off for only 2 weeks since planting! The hugelkultur bed seems to be working very well to this point.
Thanks for stopping by!

Looks great. Can't wait to see how it comes out.
Great info, very valuable. Curious about what you use for substrate in the raised bed (? just topsoil). Mel Bartholomew popularized a similar high intensity method but his inputs for the substrate are so cost prohibitive I never felt you could scale that up.
Too hot to germinate swiss chard. Try later in the summer for a fall crop or earlier in the spring,
I made a cheap hugelkultur bed with zero cost input for this. I dug the ground out about 6in below my raised bed frame filled it with tree branches, and leaves and grass clippings then put the sod on it grass side down and then put the dirt I dug out back on top. The idea was to make a really cheap raised bed and fill it for no cost. Then I just decided that would be a good spot to try this experiment.
Your right about it being too warm especially the week I planted it, with the cooler temps this week I might have some luck.
