GROWING VEGETABLES IN A HUGELKULTUR Hugelkultur, also sometimes referred to as Hugel Bed; is a Permaculture gardening technique for growing vegetables in heaps made from timber and covered over with topsoil. In this short introduction to a well-established but little-known growing concept, you will discover what it involves and how it can be used to great advantage particularly in dry arid regions. With a proper understanding and application of this simple technique, vegetables can be grown with minimum irrigation - and less back-ache! A cheap and effective way to grow vegetables in the poorest conditions, this 'Mound Culture' technique uses the naturally decomposting lumber to both feed and irrigate the plants grown in it. There can be no doubt that this is a productive technique for growing vegetables and indeed could be the answer to many problems facing the enthusiastic food-grower.

Water shortages and water rationing are commonplace throughout California, rendering expanses of lawn and thirsty, nonnative plants unsustainable. The California Native Landscape addresses both concerns by showing homeowners how to succeed with natives and showing them how lush, colorful, and thriving their landscape can be. The authors stress the importance of smart garden design and combining the right plants to promote the natural symbiosis that occurs within plant communities. Native plants also play an important role in creating fire-resistant landscapes, and this new book has cutting-edge information on this crucial topic, refuting the myth that natives are more fire-prone than nonnatives. With its unique combination of proven techniques, environmental wisdom, and inspiring design advice, this is an essential resource for all California gardeners who want to create a beautiful, ecologically appropriate, and resource-conserving home landscape.
