Event Description

The Digital Garden on Leetsdale has now proven that wood chips work just as well as hay in a sheet mulch.  A healthy soil can eat 12 inches of hay in a year requiring annual renewal.  Wood chips last at least two years (we will see how much longer).  Imagine how long a sheet mulch built with logs could last.

 

In the hugelkultur literature they talk about 30 years of fertility with no additional work.  That is a lot of vegetables and carbon sequestered by an afternoon's labor.

 

Join us in building a hugelkultur bed October 15, 2011 at the Digital Garden on Leetsdale.
