Ever thought about growing your own vegetables? There's nothing healthier than growing your own food and it's much easier than you think.

The Olle galvanized garden bed in the video is the best choice for you to plant, no matter whether your planting area is large or small. And there's one of the best ways to fill a garden bed: Hugelkultur. Hugelkultur translates to “mound or hill culture.” It is especially applicable in areas where soil retention and drainage are poor, which is typical of soils found in urban areas.
Hugelkultur is a perfect way to fill your raised garden bed. How do you build a Hugelkultur raised bed vegetable garden? The materials used include large rotting logs, sticks, and other debris that are layered with grass clippings, coffee grounds, compost, and other organic matter. As the material breaks down, it creates a flourishing environment for beneficial fungi and microbes that mimics the natural landscape of a forest. There are many advantages to the Hugelkultur method, including soil quality improvement, minimal maintenance, and water retention.

In the Hugelkultur method, for filling a raised garden bed, the large pieces are laid at the bottom as they will take the longest time to decompose. In the picture above, the piling logs may take up to 5 years before the base sponge breaks down into rich, wonderful raised garden bed soil. The smaller pieces are placed on top of the larger pieces to fill space, such as branches and sticks, and then grass clippings, leaves, and kitchen scraps. Compost and topsoil are on the top two layers of your raised garden bed so you can start planting as the organic matter beneath decomposes, creating a superior growing area for fruit and vegetables.
