Now, to get to today's post - how to build a hugel mound, an awesome and efficient method for growing food!
Hugel mounds make incredible gardens!
- They can be enlarged at any time to expand production area.
- They are suitable to a variety of environments.
- They create richer and richer soil over time.
- They don't need fertilizer.
- They hold moisture well.
- They retain warmth.
As the inner material breaks down, top layers of mulch and dirt filter down into the newly created space--hugel mounds are self-composting AND self-tilling! Plants thrive on hugel mounds!
Ideally, your new hugel mound garden needs some time to settle in. Allow it to rest for some months before planting crops directly on it. Build a hugel mound in the fall for planting in the spring!
Here are 4 steps for HOW TO BUILD A HUGEL MOUND:
Your hugel mound is ready for planting after a few months of settling.
Happy Gardening!

We have benefitted greatly from the use of hugle mounds, especially here in this Texas heat. I'm glad you're sharing this information. May it serve many a gardener in many ways.
YES may many more lives be improved by this great gardening tip! Hugel mounds produce fertile gardens for many, many years.
Another fantastic use for "trash"
Love this technique.
YES! Turn that "trash" into a valuable food production system that can provide for many people for many years!!
Oh so many answers for divine alchemy you have @quinneaker.

They will be added as soon as possible.
Awesome, thanks @fernowl13!
We made several hugel mounds in our garden last year. It is a good way to use woody debris around our property. I'm excited to see how the perform this year.
Sweet, we're excited to hear you're using this technique!!! We have had great success with them and would love to hear how yours work out. We find they get better and better as the debris inside them breaks down!
