This sounds like an experiment that begins with a pre-determined result.
I have always had a large garden(my parents had large gardens and their patents lived off the land) and have forever experimented with ways to make it more productive (even though we can't possibly eat everything we grow).Yeah so I am fired up about overplanting since ukraine and russia are destroying the grain crops market and a loaf of bread will be $10 usd soon. I will be using vermiculite into which I will add this and that, and then tossing it all into 7 gallon grow bags. Even the vermiculite compresses and settles by the end of season.
Stay tuned. Thanks.I've tried Hugelkultur, but in larger raised beds (4' x 4' x 24"), and it works beautifully. With that said, have not
tried this in smaller containers. Would be interested to know how well this works.
I have several raised beds and this year I am also going to plant in 10 gal. and bigger containers and want to know if I can bottom fill with wood chips to save on so much soil and if so about how much. Thanks DeanDepends on what your planting, but generally yes you can. Wood chips, compostable materials, paper, cardboard. As long as you leave enough room for around six inches of compost on top you should be fine.
