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 vegetables
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 growers, and indeed anyone who gets excited about growing their own food!

Of the many ways to grow your own food, Hugelkultur gardening is perhaps the only way that produces a self-irrigating planting area that is capable of growing vegetables even when space is limited and the ground conditions may be poor.

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 🙂
This Hugelkultur Guidebook presents an invaluable niche gardening technique that offers up another way to be self-sufficient in the food growing department, and I have no doubt will be a precious tutorial and addition to any food growers library.
