I haven't quite decided what I'm putting in here, yet, I'll see what I don't have space for elsewhere in the garden. I thought about squash, but I don't fancy my chances of digging in a load of compost until that turf has broken down a bit, so I'll aim for something less hungry this year.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16619866897155085499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388623297510187244.post-1787566899811924862015-02-16T08:39:14.777+00:002015-02-16T08:39:14.777+00:00You've done a good job there, Rachel!

If you want the full details, it's <a href="http://growingthingsandmakingthings.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/hugelkultur-terrace.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I'm hoping this one won't settle as much as the other one, as it's mainly full of turf, which is quite dense, but I'll probably be adding some compost to it as I go, anyway.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16619866897155085499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388623297510187244.post-24961874857580890262015-02-15T20:12:25.807+00:002015-02-15T20:12:25.807+00:00Wow!
