Hugel beds, also known as hugelkultur beds, are an innovative gardening technique that’s gaining popularity for its ability to improve soil fertility, conserve water, and increase plant productivity. One variation of these beds, recommended by renowned permaculturist Sepp Holzer, is the steep hugel bed. In this article, we’ll explore what steep hugel beds are, why Sepp Holzer recommends them, and how to create your own to enhance your garden’s efficiency.
What Are Steep Hugel Beds?
Steep hugel beds are an elevated variation of traditional hugelkultur beds. Hugelkultur is a German term that translates to “hill culture,” and it involves creating raised garden beds filled with organic materials like logs, branches, leaves, and compost. These materials decompose over time, providing a continuous source of nutrients to the plants.
Steep hugel beds, as the name suggests, have a steeper slope or incline. This design offers several advantages for gardeners looking to maximize their garden’s potential.
