Building a Garden with Hugel Beds and a Wood Core

I show you through my own experience a method of building a garden using a wood core to create hugel beds.

Basic sequence:

1. find contour of land
2. dig garden bed based on contour
3. fill hole with wood
4. add grass and/or compost on wood
5. fill in with dirt for a raised bed
6. add grass or compost on top for nitrogen
7. dig a swale beside bed upland from it following contour
8. just add that dirt on top of the bed.
9. get ready to plant your veggies
