Hugelkutur is some European-type-language for 'hill culture'. From what the internet's told me about Hugelkultur over the last 12 hours, the idea is: You pile up logs and other yard debris like lawn clippings and leaves, and you just leave it, and it magically turns into a raised super nutrient-rich garden bed! You can make them in little hills or traditional rows or even undulating snaky shapes!

So ~fanciful~! Like if Hobbits gardened (do Hobbits garden?) they'd definitely build Hugelkultur. Given the thoroughly helpless feeling I have — contemplating both the pandemic and the collapse of our economy — Hugelkultur does solve a few of the problems I can try to tackle right now!!
