Hugelkultur (pronounced “hoogel-kool-toor) gardening is the perfect gardening technique for many folks who have the desire to grow their own food and take another step towards self-suffiency – at least where food production is concerned.

First concieved in the Black Forest area of Germany, the Hugelbed was developed out of a need to grow vegetablesOpens in a new tab. in an area that lacked space, but had an abundance of old fallen timbers and general tree moult.

It has since been adopted and adapted by many countries as the benefits of this technique become obvious to permaculture enthusiasts, living off-grid, organic vegetable growersOpens in a new tab., and indeed anyone who gets excited about growing their own food!

Time To Be More Self-Sufficient

In this present age of uncertainty surrounding pandemic and other issues that will not just go away. I believe that everyone should be concerned enough about the future to plan ahead for the ‘evil day’ when the world changes and food may not be as readily available in the store.

The knowledge and ability to feed yourself and your family, may well become the most valuable asset that anyone can own – you cannot eat precious metals or stones or even artwork 🙂
