No, I didn't just sneeze, I said "Hugelkultur!". Hugelkultur is a wonderful way of using scrap wood (non coniferous) to bruild raised beds that are highly water efficient.
The idea is to lay down a tall frame of wood and to pile dirt over it. You can plant your veggies and then go without watering for most of the season. However, keep in mind that your second year will be your true baring year.
Here is the wonderful article I found about this fascinating style of gardening http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/2beoNc/:VTrX0Tl4:KFZJ!MkA/www.richsoil.com/hugelkultur/
Do we have any Hugelkulturists in Vancouver? I would love to hear from you and see some photos of your garden!
