People keep asking me why I’m not doing hugelkultur at the garden lot.

In Tuesday’s video, I shared the answer:

Hugelkultur doesn’t work in every situation. Though it would be fun to try, there’s no way I’m working that hard. Even the hard work I am already doing will be undone when the lot reverts to its owners and a house is built. I’m not adding all the digging and stacking of hugel beds to that!

We need to obtain a yield first of all – and that’s what I plan to do. Yams, pumpkins, tomatoes, arrowroot – we’ll make it happen without massive amounts of digging and burying.
