Hugelkultur on Contour
It was a Good Friday project at the farm. I decided to take advantage of the drier conditions we have had the last week or so and cut a few more swales on contour uphill of the barn. Instead of leaving open catchment ditches I changed up the strategy a bit and decided it would be more "permaculture-like" if I started the soil building process proactively. We took a lot of the young trees/logs we cleared from other areas of the property and placed them in the swales then covered them back up with the soil and wood chips we'd made a few weeks earlier with the chipper.
