I finished my hugelkulture grow bed project. I didn’t want to keep buying top soil to put onto the berm. Instead I started digging a small garden pond, and used the fill dirt to build the berm. In the video I’m a little winded, so excuse me talking while out of breath.

Very helpful! I have a natural spring my ducks are still using in mid-December (northeastern Maine) even though everything else is frozen and snowy. I plan to dig it out for them next year. Combine that with releasing apple trees, clearing invasive black cherry saplings and plenty of other organic matter, and I think this is what I need to do. Building the hugel on the dry edge of the spring will make this simple and productive, and the ducks will be happy. Thank you for the video!
Thanks a lot for reading my blog. I am glad I can help. Make sure you read my current post on cover cropping, so you don’t have a bare berm. Erosion may wash it all away.
