A mound of buried logs covered with soil and compost creates a self-watering garden bed that needs significantly less irrigation — for up to five years. Hugelkultur is a German word meaning mound culture. The concept is simple. Stack rotting logs and branches on the ground, cover them with soil, and plant directly on top. The buried wood acts as a giant sponge. Decomposing hardwood absorbs and holds substantial amounts of water. A mound with a solid log core stores enough moisture underground to keep roots hydrated for weeks between waterings — releasing it slowly upward through the soil all season. The first year, the wood pulls nitrogen from the soil as it starts decomposing. Offset this by planting light feeders — carrots, beets, potatoes, and radishes thrive in the loose well-drained mound soil without extra fertilizer. By year two the decomposition reverses. The mound starts releasing nutrients instead of consuming them and watering needs drop noticeably. The mound shrinks a few inches per year as the wood breaks down. After four to five years what remains is some of the richest spongiest soil your garden has ever had — built entirely from waste wood. 🌱 How to build one: 1. Lay the largest logs directly on the ground as the base — fallen branches, storm debris, pruned limbs, or logs from any tree removal all work 2. Fill gaps with smaller branches and twigs. Pack them in tightly so the mound has fewer air pockets 3. Cover the wood layer with a thick layer of leaves, grass clippings, or other organic material 4. Top with six to eight inches of soil mixed with compost. This is the planting surface 5. Plant root vegetables the first year while nitrogen is being consumed. Switch to heavier feeders like squash, tomatoes, and peppers in year two when the mound starts releasing nutrients 6. Water normally the first season while the wood saturates. From year two onward the mound holds enough moisture that you can reduce watering significantly between rains Build it for free from wood you already have. Water it less every year. Harvest from it for five 🌿

@newstart_2024 Wokeism is based on feelings and is not arrived at through rational consideration. Jonathan Swift said there was no point in trying to reason with people whose opinions were not arrived through reason. Wokeism will not be dislodged easily.

@newstart_2024 Wokeness is a methodology, to sabotage Western Civilization. It is a Color Revolution "mind virus."

UN whistleblower Andrew Macleod breaks down why "your green car is not green". "The vast majority of the cobalt, coltan and rare earth minerals come from the Democratic Republic of Congo, mined by 14-year-old children." "Don't tell me you're a good person because you eat tofu, use a bamboo straw and are completely ambivalent about the human rights abuses that created the battery in your car."

@InsaneReality Mom said no new mower.... you're using this one till it blows up. He said ok.

Man’s lawn mower suddenly explodes out of nowhere

There needs to be a class action lawsuit in the trillions for every American for this and the abuse of our personal data. We paid for the development of all their technologies

👌👌

@RepLuna Remove every member of congress and investigate everything and their families. Its our Constitutional rights. Call in a clean military and have tribunals. Start fresh with term limits that can't be changed and have performance based reports to the people no reactions

The American people are witnessing a full blown breakdown in the Senate. We have a piece of overwhelmingly popular legislation that still can’t get passed thru. This entire ordeal has exposed the failures of our system to truly represent the voters. It’s all so corrupt.

Hermann Hesse (Siddhartha) “He already understood how to speak the “Om” silently, that word of words, how to speak it silently in his inner being as he inhaled, how to pronounce it silently out of himself as he exhaled, how to do so with his whole soul while his forehead was enveloped by the radiance of the clear-thinking mind. He already understood how to recognize Atman within this inner essence of his that was indestructible and one with the universe.” …nofloveandconsciousnessdivinityis.com/2026/03/herman…

🚨🚨 Massive Nebraska wildfires have burned over 800,000 acres. Generational ranches have been devastated. Farmers and ranchers from around the country are sending hay and feed, to help their brothers, This is what we do as real Americans, we stand together, like this convoy heading to Nebraska. God Bless these amazing people.
