Hugel Beds Part II

I finished the first Hugel Bed this morning.  I actually went and bought a scoop of screened fill dirt and compost.  The promise of this kind of bed is much work to get it made, then low maintenance for years later.  We had enough compost to give a top layer to the other four, 4x4 raised beds.  On the other side of the house, we have 4 other beds that we put apple and pear tree cuttings in.  Only one apple and one pear tree made it.  I will add a layer of compost to those beds as well.

Next we will put some mulch down on top of the beds and I'll look up what to plant.  We want to put something in the beds this winter, but if not, we will definitely be ready for spring.
