My friend is a researcher at the University of Minnesota bee lab and after 20 years of no bees nesting in her yard she finally got some when she built a hugelkultur! Please build them for our friends the bees! Thank you!

Hugel beds looking so good and breaking down after all these years.

[@heidiw8406]

Thank you for the tips. We have two hugelkultur beds. One is a year old, the other about one month old.

Thank you so much for giving away the kale tree seeds. I was wanting some so badly. I have already started my artichoke seeds.

Your worm bin is amazing!🙏❤️🙏

[@SoraLeoyfaith]

Thank you for the nice video once again! . I never tried hugelkultur myself. I may just have to look it up.

[@Pynefurnishings]

Looking forward to a great season with my hugel beds! Thanks for sharing...

[@susanmyer1]

I’ve been planning on building a hukelkultur bed. I’ll remember these tips when it comes time to plant it out.

[@stanlee1857]

Nice Dan I definitely need to add a few hugelkultur on our homestead yours always looks so good and abundant!

[@aliaroberts8046]

Great process/production! I can’t wait for mine to mature!

[@lisageorge7389]

I love this worm bin idea! I left a couple of questions on one of the previous video on worm compost

[@cathywest8776]

Another great informative video! Thank you. Your food forest is looking good.

[@kimanderson9135]

Appreciate the details of hugelkulter techniques. I want to try.

[@rebeccahenkins1697]

I have a small pile of woody branches and such - I may build it up a bit and give this a try! Thanks for the lessons!

[@lambdaindustries5675]

The beds look great, I am contemplating building a hugelkultur mound this year as a test.

[@judymarr370]

Thanks Dan for teaching!!

Nice video as always

Nice video. Wish we could see an aerial shoot of your full backyard.

[@plantabundance]

Working on it my friend. Thanks for tuning in.

Thanks again brother

Can't wait for planting season, we still have snow here :-( but anywho your HK mound is so awesome!

[@MichaelLarson512]

I look forward to your videos the most, thanks.

[@MakkIsLooking]

Neato gift & do like the prep work thoughts thanks! :)

[@Babyprep]

I tried Hugulkulter in a small side bed. Didn’t realize that you need so much on top of the logs. It really settled a lot.

[@plantabundance]

A good balance of material is key. All the best!

[@danielst.hilaire6454]

Love your videos.

Another great video from you guys. Thanks as always for the uploads. How much worm casting can that bin produce?

Another great give away.

[@stephaniejacobs3809]

I do hugelkulter to make more land and give the surrounding trees more medium

[@4000marcdman]

In so cal we have horrible gophers. Would goohers be able to get to the roots of plants in this setup?

[@plantabundance]

If gophers are an issue I'd recommend putting down some 1/2" hardware cloth and building the hugel atop it. BTW I recommend trenching down about 3' and starting the hugel below ground. That's what I did on 2 of the 3 beds. It's more work upfront but allows for much more wood to go into the build. If you decide to trench then you will also want to screen the side walls. cheers!

[@4000marcdman]

@@plantabundance thanks for the info. It's very appreciated.

[@ewellacres]

I do enjoy the hukelkulture method unfortunately it does take time for it to develop. One this I have find to help give this method a jump start is after setting up the base for the much later I like to use straw or leaf littler that easily breaks down in the fall to allow it to break down over the entire winter.

[@constancelovejoy7308]

Please show us how u r getting rid of Bermuda grass along fence line 😊

[@plantabundance]

Well I got r done already, but I can go over my technique in a future vid. Cheers!

[@justjamie333]

I’ve been removing Bermuda by sections, pushing it back a bit further each year. Starting from the outer most edge I work backwards. First I used a pitch fork to go under to loosen the clumps of rhizomes. Then hand remove the clumps and runners ( as many as possible) Followed by heavy sheet cardboard layers and top with thick wood chips. (Or soil then wood chips) also putting comfrey, borage , and/ or rocks, wood (above and below surface) along edges can slow the rapid return to the area. Cannas also work as a natural wall. Ultimately i go back to the area and remove sprouts that may have been missed as they as they appear.

[@78Baguio]

How do you deal with air pockets that develop over time? I guess the default solution would be to keep adding layers, allow the middle layer to cave in naturally which will result in gaps getting filled. The challenge with my hugel bed is that 12 months is insufficient time for that process to occur. Because air pockets remain, wouldn't the growing roots of a seedling struggle later on with nutrient absorption due to lack of dirt at the bottom layer?

[@bigwavefla161]

Great video. Did you use cardboard along the fence with woodchips?

[@ritamoreno7431]

Hi Dan..new to food forest method..wondering if you are selling any of your bocking 14 comfrey..enjoy your videos.

[@joeyhardin1288]

I would like to plant a blueberry hedge between my house and the neighbors. I need a 4.5 to 5.5 ph. Will this work in this instance? Edit - I live in central Kentucky.

What are you going to plant in your Hugelkultur?

I want to try this, but worried about copperheads and rattlesnakes hiding in there.
