-Key Takeaways:

Hugelkultur mounds are usually positioned perpendicular to the wind.

Sometimes used as a staging process to dispose of wood and build soil which can then be spread onto crop land.

Think of a hugelkultur as a produce aisle raised bed.

Make sure the design fits into how you live your life and how you want to live your life.

-Hugelkultur Benefits:

Soil building structure.

Semi-permanent planting bed.

It creates microclimates.

Lifting the soil surface towards the sun and that adds degree days.
