Before Huglekultur
This is a home in Benicia seeking to reclaim an overgrown area. An area covered in Ivy over Juniper with Yucca trees and Fruitless Mulberry, the odd Rose gone wild and some unkempt Phormium.
The beginnings of a hole to bury green material. We first called 811 to have the services marked. It's free and it is a requirement.
The goal here was to keep all carbon on site, harvest rainwater and build soil.
We buried the green material rather than haul it away. Soil is layered with brush in a lasagna style. Ivy being positioned at the bottom, as possible.
Some sizable tree trunks were buried.
After Huglekultur -
This is the finished pile except for a covering of tree chips. There will not be much decomposition during the dry months, however the height will be much reduced in a years time.
Meagan has been busy planting the raised beds.
Happy Earth Day and Happy earthworks to you all,
