The Seven-Layer Garden

I suppose if we composted any left-over seven-layer burritos, we could also add them to this rich agri-melange that you see here. The formal term for this type of garden preparation is hügelkultur. Which, loosely-translated means “seven-layers of the finest materials that a flower seedling could ever hope to be planted in”…or something like that. We’re currently waiting for the first six layers to settle before adding the seventh.

  1. Wood
  2. Fill dirt
  3. Grass clippings/leaves
  4. Domestic compost
  5. Cured chicken manure
  6. Topsoil/Leaf humus composite
  7. Row cover

YUM!!!
