"Hugelkultuur" Beds Follow up

In my previous post, about "hugelkultuurbeds", we had a look at what they were all about, and we took you through the steps of us constructing our first one, which was back in 2013.

This post is a quick pictorial follow up, showing the yields from our second bed (first one was being prepared for next planting):

  We are excited about the results, and have completed three beds to date. Already we can hardly keep up, and have made some money selling off the produce!
