Hügelkultur: From Wikipedia...........
Hugelkultur is a horticultural technique where a mound constructed from decaying wood debris and other compostable biomass plant materials is later (or immediately) planted as a raised bed.
Adopted by permaculture advocates, it is suggested the technique helps to improve soil fertility, water retention, and soil warming. I could not get my keyboard to put the thingy above the
U so I changed the e to an a. Wattle is a lightweight construction material made by weaving thin branches or slats between upright stakes to form a woven lattice. So in the American tradition
of bastardizing English words I switched the Ts for Ds. In short a hugalwaddel is a raised bed made out of sticks filled with logs, dirt, compost and plants.
