Structures Around the Garden
Over the past two months, there have been a few physical changes around the garden. Besides the constant growth of plants, fruits and vegetables there was the construction of trellises and hugel mounds.
Trellises
Trellises
A variety of new trellises were created, by our wonderful volunteers, to help support the thriving cucumbers, squash, and beans. Some of the wood was reused from previous projects and other pieces had been donated or found from the surrounding community.
Hugel Mounds
Two new hugel mounds were made and strategically placed in areas of the garden that either held weeds or had been fairly empty beforehand. These mounds often hold:
- Logs
- Branches
- Woodchips
- Green matter (leaves, weeds, etc)
- Soil
- Compost
