| Take a shrub piece of land that offers very little value ~2/3 acre |
 |
| Clear it. |
 |
| Our burm/hugelculture sight- catches water and will level out with the rest of the slope, eventually |
 |
| Fill with all the shrub and other woody debris laying around |
 |
| Add cardboard |
 |
| and manure |
 |
| Mix the manure with the berm of dirt and cover the cardboard and wood- let it sit. |
 |
| We added three new nursery beds above the berm area |
 |
| Seed it. |
 |
| Water it and watch it grow |
The cover crop we placed on the beds is just starting to come up, so I'll have another photo soon. My boss and me cleared this spot in about a day and had the hugelculture set up the next. The purpose of hugelculture, by what I understand is, to act as a sponge and break down into wonderful organic soil. Google it, if you'd like to find out more. I couldn't find one specific site I liked.
Staying busy!
