Hugelkultur 101!
Vložit
- čas přidán 29. 09. 2022
- This technique it’s a sort of Hugelkultur which means using different materials to layer the bottom part of your raised beds, providing moisture retention, building fertility and a great way to recycle woody debris.
I usually keep all my old pots with dry plants and roots and use them the next season on one of the layers. Woodchips around your raised bed are optional but ideal to feed the microorganisms in your soil!
LAYERS:
- Cardboard if you have weeds or grass at the bottom
- Hardwood logs (don’t use black lotus, black walnut or old growth redwood)
- Smaller branches (I used apple tree cuttings)
- Spoiled Hay or dry leaves
- Unfinished compost
- Well rotted / nutrient rich compost
- Top soil
- Vermiculite or perlite for aeration and drainage

you’re one of my favorite content creators thank you for your time and energy on being so resourceful and sustainable! i strive to create a garden of my own full of abundance like this
Aw thanks a lot, I really appreciate it! You can do the same just start small and slowly add up more plants :)
Omg that's so smart. My neighbors have a humongous tree that drops tons of twigs and leaves in my backyard. I am going to give it a try
I’m glad you liked the idea 😊
Yes. Not only is it cheap, but very good for the plants. Through time it breaks down to feed the plants. Good work!! Aloha🤙🏼🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you and yes that’s absolutely true 😊
Your garden is a dream of mine once I own a house 🥺
You can definitely do it 😊
❤️🔥
Raised beds are beautiful for rentals. I have 9 total, and they are big, but i do have more land as a renter than most, and my landlord is a farmer, he has cows so that does help. But even if I had an apartment, I would try very hard to make this happen
I have been watching your videos for a few weeks now bro and I love it. You have givin me so many ideas and inspirations to do with my own garden. Thank you your content is working
Idk, i'm just in love with him 😍❤️
Haha 💚🫶
The view from above is awesome!
Thank you, much appreciate it 😊
I did that in 5 gallon buckets this year. Worked wonderfully.
It’s a great system!
Love your idea,my husband did this,using up cuttings etc to fill raised beds,we grew 8 cauliflowers in a 1and a half metres round bed, delicious and no chemicals,so exciting
That’s awesome 😊😊
Wow! I like those little flowers.
Thank you 😊
Love this!! Helps with water retention too
I'm loving your content. Please keep sharring

Thanks a lot 😊
I enjoy watching & listening to you
Love your tattoos 💜
Thank you so much 🫶
Compost season implement organic matter, garden sings for nutrients.
Yep, that’s is true!
@@SpicyMoustache Trilling flora sing for joy!
I like that you added vermiculite to your compost
You can skip that phase but I do it just in case to add aeration and drainage 😊
That is the real definition of a real man.
Very nicely done, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I’m happy you liked it 😊
Started this last year. Best yet!
Thank you
Awesome 👏
Thanks a lot 😊
I think I’m in love. Lol. A man after my own heart. I love hill gardens. Created similar beds for my mom. They are still producing wildly beautiful and ginormous vegetables.
I love you bro, you have honestly inspired me and given me new ideas to try, bless you
Aw thank you bro!!!
yeah, the wood also releases heat in winter, keeping the roots warm
Oh more of these please
Opinel are great knives. Cool that you use one!
Outstanding.
You are really cool!
Thanks a lot 😊

Me : Have almost zero gardening knowledge
Him : To save money
Me : Bro im in!
I'm convinced you can start compost on space, I've seen compost being used with cheapest mats and still yield terrific results!
✨ 💖 HUGELKULTUR 💖✨

I hope you liked the segment 😊
I like using leafs also
Just think if we all did this with our Christmas trees and all the cardboard from the presents... What a great tradition that would be.
I study agriculture at school long time ago,, sadly never practice after working..
Your channel,, inspired me back and I already practice planting. . I also try hydroponic planting. .have you ever try hydroponic planting 😁✌️
You would make a great farmer
greetz from bavaria... i luv ur vids ...
so amazing
So loving your content. So inspirational and wish that I had my own place where I could plant like you do. So love what you do❤️
Good one
Thank you 😊
sangat menginspirasi bagi pecinta tanaman😍 salam saya dari Indonesia😊
Is there a free way to fill garden beds?
Not entirely free depending on where you live but it’s a one off expense
Gonna have to check this guy out ... Respect a fellow who uses an Opinel in the garden!
Thank you mate 🙏🏻
I love your content. when I was really young my dad made us salad every night to go with our dinner.
One night he made a salad with nothing but edible flowers. I was amazed at how many flowers are edible.
I like adding greens in layers with the dry, to add in so organic matter to the carbon from the wood.
Microorganisms need a substrate with similar N:C ratio (~10:1, but this isn't volumetric). That hay's mostly carbon.
Grass cuttings from parks works great! Maybe even already bagged up for you.
By adding greens you'll be favouring a healthier microbial activity in the bed, and preventing rot - we want decomposition, so we also get some skow forming compost in the lower layers :)
I like carboard on top too under a small layer of compost (+ mulch) - I find it helps prevent a lot of weeds from sprouting into the light.
Yeah i know, very good Motivation with Information vids!
Cardbord is the best for worms and can be used for saving the parts of the raise bed from scratches of the pokes from the branches and other harder stuff.
I use pallets covered with cheap aquafoil (0,1mm thick only) and the lot of cardbord for Cover the foil.
When it Drops down, the foil gets less pressure and stays better in place...
Have fun!
Sounds good, thanks 🙏🏻
that's very smart 💯
This is how I garden, I will never go back to traditional tilling and amending.
I wish I had these skills...maybe if I keep watching your inspiring videos, like the grow my own mushrooms video...❤
Sure, you can do it 100% 😊
I'd love to do this but I'm worried about attracting termites since they're very common in my area.
I heard there are essential oils that ward off certain insects. Not sure about termites, but maybe there is something for that too...
Never had that issue before but you could use a simple no dig system in that case. Horse manure and topping once a year with homemade compost
You would be a good weed farmer 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽😅😅😅
I recently saw someone taking all their soft plastics and stuffing it inside their hard plastics. They used them as framing to build a raised bed.
Love this method for filling beds. Only downside is how much the level drops as thing decompose so you have to always top it up
I always add homemade compost to all my beds, inground and raised every fall as amendment. (Note I also have a giant supply of leaves from huge oaks on my property, and my compost system is quite large since have the space)
Good ideas but wood takes a lot of nitrogen out of the soil until it starts to rot, which can take a while with some woods especially hard woods I believe. That said I don't have formal education that's just something I've heard and picked up from more experienced people.
Wood near the surface would do that 100% but there’s a big layer of many other things before the wood could actually deprive the compost from nitrogen
It's very important not to forget to put the cameraman in there too!
I like making it a compost pile and after a year use it as a raised bed. Since I collect tons of compost materials, And have other compost piles.
That’s a great tip if you have enough space
very cool and also based
New sub from me, brother! Keep make awesome content!
Well done. And you don't have to pour water since the tree logs will absorb it when it rains and then slowly release it.
And don't forget to cover with hay to keep humidity in the ground. It will also help with frost by keeping the temperature underneath.
👍
I flinched when you smacked the camera. Lol. I just plant everything in the ground. I have worked so hard to make the soil healthy. I have dug up several feet. The plants definitely grow larger and expand more freely.
Cool, now plant something you can eat!!
Violas are edible… omg
Only advice would be to only build one of these if you really like gardening and are going to stick with it, Because Raised beds like these are going to need repairing and replacing of parts and eventually an overhaul in a couple years time so just a heads up to people just staring.
I’ve had this system in place for 7 years. Never replaced or fixed anything
😊👍❤
🫶💚
Do you have any videos for soil alternatives?
Handsome Lad!
Thank you 🫶
Just saying he looked unchallenged carrying that huge topsoil bag. Must be STRONG. 😳
i use bamboo and amazon boxes cardboard, then shredded paper and cut gras, then river sand or poor soil from anywhere nearby, a bit of forest clean soil (shift it so you only take with you soil plus bacteria and fungus spores) if from nearby some edible mushrooms even better, then some good soil at the surface, plant and some dry grass to top.
The Gigant Gardner from next door
You know most of his neighbors and the old Karen’s on the block hate him 😂😂😂In my opinion this dudes awesome! I’d love to have some of the different fruits and veggies growing on my property in Chicago the way he does!
Neat
I usually use styrofoam and bottles for my garden
Nothing like face tats and flowers 😆 All kidding aside nice video
Haha 😂
Spicy are you doing the SKIP program?
I’m this garden the earth worms have Tattoo’s and do as they are told.
Add worm castings each spring the wood will rob nitrogen till it’s balanced
Цветы это хорошо, но они могли бы и в небольших горшках расти, а на такую грядку надо что-нибудь съедобное сажать. Тыкву, кабачки..
It's more of a Hochbeet than a real Hügelkultur
Yep. That’s how I got rid of lots of timber and boxes. It all breaks down nicely. I think it even increased the nitrogen levels in the soil.
They are brown compost materials so they guve carbon not nitrogen
It will increase the level of carbon stored in the ground 😊
