The work day last week was a blast! Volunteers had The work day last week was a blast! Volunteers had a great time pruning, layering the wood debris and tamping it to shape into hügelkultur beds. The beds were placed in areas that flooded in this wet year. They are a strategy to grow perennials and annuals in wet soil and also in dry areas! The hügelkultur beds will retain moisture during droughts, elevate the root systems from pooling water, and secure plants from getting washed away. Volunteers were excited to learn about all this. Also lots of exchange of ideas and networking, and chatting about climate resilience and regenerative agriculture. Join our next Volunteer Day in October! Many thanks to everyone who came out and to Sean Dembrosky from @edibleacres for leading this event! #regenerativeagriculture #localfarming #hugelkultur #climate_resilience #ithaca #fingerlakes #upstate_ny #farm_justice
