Last year as we were working on our big deployment, we gathered inputs from around our property to use to build the hugels, including this downed tree. Using native materials is an important part of preserving your soil’s natural ecology. It may not seem like a big deal to bring in fillers and inputs from other areas, but it can disrupt the natural flow of things in your local soil food web. Of course, there are times when it’s just not possible to avoid bringing in outside fillers and inputs. Do what you can with what you’ve got.
