From Logs to Lush Soil: Hands-On Hugelkultur Workshop for Abundant Harvest

From Logs to Lush Soil: A Hands-On Hugelkultur Workshop for Abundant Harvests with Mind Your Garden Urban Farm

Discover the ancient secret that’s revolutionizing sustainable growing! Join us for a hands-on workshop where you’ll learn how to build in-ground Hugelkultur beds - a simple, cost-effective, and incredibly productive way to grow lush, resilient gardens with minimal watering and no fertilizers!

What is Hugelkultur?

Hugelkultur (pronounced *HOO-gul-culture*) is a centuries-old method of creating in ground and raised grow beds using logs, branches, and organic debris. As the wood slowly decomposes, it acts like a sponge—retaining moisture, enriching the soil, and providing nutrients for years to come. The result? Less watering, fewer weeds, and thriving plants!

Why You’ll Love This Workshop:

✅ Save Money – Use free or low-cost materials (fallen branches, leaves, yard waste) instead of buying soil amendments.

✅ Drought-Resistant Gardens – Hugelkultur beds hold moisture, reducing the need for frequent watering.

✅ Boost Soil Fertility – Natural decomposition creates rich, nutrient-dense soil over time.

✅ Low Maintenance – Once built, these beds require minimal upkeep while producing abundant harvests.

✅ Eco-Friendly – Turn waste into a resource and build healthy soil without chemicals!

What You’ll Learn & Do:

🔸 The science behind Hugelkultur and why it works so well

🔸 Step-by-step guidance on building your own in-ground bed

🔸 Best materials to use (and what to avoid)

🔸 Tips for planting and maintaining your Hugelkultur garden
