Foolishly, I started digging an asparagus bed that turned out to be a pond. I've given up the idea of trying asparagus, as much as I'd love the fresh taste. So now I am thinking of filling in the trench with logs and all the hugelkultur accoutrements. I think I'll get better drainage and eventually have a mound tantamount to a raised bed like my others only deeper and higher. Does anyone have any thoughts, especially in trying to grow food in a swamp?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4777750678000809007.post-44957745990109853952014-03-05T21:55:26.181-05:002014-03-05T21:55:26.181-05:00My back yard hugel bed = Wood + landfill fine mulc...My back yard hugel bed = Wood + landfill fine mulch + 5" of mushroom compost.<br />Kale planted on top with peas all around...
