  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 มิ.ย. 2024
  • Suburban Homestead S2EP10 In this update on my Hugelkultur bed, I check how the soil is doing a year after installing the Hugelkultur inspired garden bed. I am surprised by the results. My sister's family comes to visit and help me plant out this bed once again. Make sure to check out my sister Lilian's Crafting TH-cam channel and learn some portuguese in the process: / @compartilhandoarte

      you mean his lazy ass uncle is lucky to have his nephew. i mean c'mon throw a damn tarp over the bed if you are not gonna suffer the consequences of weeding it out alone. this is why he is lazy i bet, because he can call the family over to bail him out. grow the fuck up if you want to homestead. use a tarp to prevent weeds until you are planting. you created all this extra work yourself for lack of foresight, and relied on others free labor.

      @@MrBraffZachlin ok that's a little harsh. People make mistakes and they learn from it. Assuming he's lazy without considering the effort the puts into making these videos, managing the rest of his garden and creating the life he wants outside of his garden is a little narrow-minded. I'd suggest looking more broadly into what makes your life worth living before being so quick to criticize others for their mistakes

    What a wonderful video. A true delight to watch. This hugelkultur sounds great; I have copious branches about the garden so if I could put them to good use and get quality soil out of them it would be ideal. I'll go back and watch your earlier video on this. Your musings on childhood were very poignant, and made me yearn for bygone days just a little bit. But we ought to remember that those sensations and wonders need not ever subside!

      +The Manifold Curiosity Very well put my friend! I'm glad I could evoke some nostalgia. As for Hugelkultur, try it out! All you need is time and a bit of patience. (remember to add a nitrogen rich organic fertilizer in the first year if you want good initial results)

      Thanks Gaz. Hugelkultur sure is interesting. I haven’t done more of it because it is a lot of work to set up and my soil is great already. I feel that chop and drop and mulching is way more effective where I am. In the UK it may be different because of the rainy cooler weather and slugs: but you have excellent gardening advice there like Charles downing and Huw Richards.

    My first hugelkulture mound has been a raging success. I built mine up quite large with the tree lopping waste available. Instead of straw I used coco coir as the top layer and growing medium so I could begin planting before the wood was broken down. I recommend it as zero maintenance for sure. I don't use poles or support at all though, everything just grows up the sides. Love it! ❤
