Hügelkultur & Grübenkultur Garden Beds
May 28 & 29, 2022 ~ Baca Grande ~ Crestone, CO
Led by Pharmer Bob
of Beyond Organica
We are building a variation on traditional hugelkultur, which is a centuries-old, traditional way of building a garden bed from rotten logs and plant debris above ground in a mound formation. We will spend two days building what is known as a Grübenkultur garden bed, which is an underground version more suitable to the Crestone Environment.
bob is a certified permaculture specialist, living on an organic farm in Salida. His company Beyond Organica makes high quality soil amendments, and plant nutrients.
Farmer bob pedersen will guide us through the build of the garden bed, and help you create a plan for your own.
