Hello!
A beautiful day out there! Jeff got out before me and made quite the dint in one of our remaining piles of branches.
I had to put some bread on to bake (herb and garlic) and wash a few dozen eggs aaaaaand chat to a friend on the phone (at least I was multitasking)
We’ve gone from the above to the below:
And a bit less than that as I burned some more and took those heavier logs/branches down to the new Hugelkultur garden
Jeff got in and whippersnipped the area to make it easier for me to start. I then did the usual base of cardboard and started filling it in with the logs.
Got lots of awkward offcuts of wood to make good use of.
And this time I am going to fill with more of the smaller stuff as I go along so it gets down in the gaps more easily.
Figured that corn could be dug up and chucked on too!
So I did – then weighted it down with more scraps
It was getting pretty dark by the time I was done with things today – there is a lot more to be layered here, but it was a solid start.
I’d like to sort my pile of branches and get into the chipping next decent weather day!
We are further through the clean up of this stage than I supposed we would be. Before we know it, we’ll be calling the tree guys back for round two!!
Hope your day was lovely too!
Cheers
Yum sounds good…makes me hungry. I guess I should start supper.
Enjoy these blogs each day…makes me feel we are closer. Thank you!
Love to you both. xxoo
Thanks Judy! So glad you enjoy them!! Its nice to share a bit of our life when everyone isn’t conveniently around the corner!! Hugs for everyone xxxx
I am so interested in how your Hugelkultur garden turns out. I think it will be such an amazing rich garden bed but your soil looks awesome compared to mine.
Hi Jenny – I am also really looking forward to seeing how the Huggle works out too!! I like the process of building it up!! We are lucky to have really nice soil here. A def. advantage if you are mad about growing food!! š
