| Hugelwhat? It's an old-school German technique that virtually eliminates the need to irrigate, puts a whole lot of carbon back in the ground and is incredibly productive once its settled in. |

| Have you heard or tried vertical hugelkultur? We had a record dry summer in Washington 2012. I believe it will be the norm. Drier climate is moving North. My orchard is already berms and swales on contour, but I will be adding vertical logs to the berms. I hit clay about a foot down. Can someone tell me how deep or long my logs should be? Eric |
