Surrounded the hugelkulture garden with some logs to tidy things up. As they rot they'll just become part of the wood that feeds the garden. Looks a little more civilized. LOL. Chips in between are half done since the photo. Started on Saturday and went bear hunting by Sunday afternoon. Winning. Ya'll have raised beds? The first couple seasons it's looked like this ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/EpokMkg.jpg) After ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/W78AmLd.jpg)

I did two 20'x20' raised boxes out of redwood about 5 years ago. They're holding up well. I need to change my irrigation this year. I have sprinklers in each corner but I want to change to drip lines to try to keep weeds down.

Looks good! As we design our new home I’m not doing anything that requires me to have to bend over to work. I’ll be putting in a couple large greenhouses with automated watering and HPS & MH lights. I’m tired of back surgeries so everything in our new place will be setup for the future which means as much simplicity with as little work and discomfort as possible. This next build will be our LAST but at 53 I figure I have another 50 good years left…

I have raised bed and wicking buckets.
Have to be somewhat careful of those hugleculture (sp) beds. If the wood is too "new" they can rob the bed of nitrogen. My soil sample showed as much anyway.

Well Ballz, this is the first post of yours I actually like.
You did a great job with the raised beds. What are the metal contraptions in the right bed? Looks like a floating chicken coop, but I assume it's just tomato cages or something.

We are gonna need some moisture soon as well.
Nasty wind yesterday and it got a bunch of soil from a big field blow up in the air. Made a helluva dust cloud and people were calling the fire dept thinking it was smoke.

In the spring of 67 the dirt drifted as high as the woven wire on the fences.

Repurposed metalwork welded into the shapes shown. It has a bunch of cross bars that can be moved wherever they're needed.
