Q. I have been reading about building a Hugelkulter
mound. My husband and I are in our 60's and the less we have to be on our knees
the better it is for our backs. I wonder if we could build a Hugelkulter mound
out of desert materials? Every article I've read seems to be in a forested area
where wood is readily available.
A. I have to be honest with you. I have never heard of
this before so I had to do some digging (not literally) into the subject. I
also have to admit I don't know anything about it but I did find someone to
refer you to. I met her a couple of weeks ago at a class I was teaching in
Arizona.
She is a permaculture advocate and a delightful person. I
have not visited her place in Arizona but she is enthusiastic and someone I
would recommend you contact for more information.

Perhaps there are others out there who can chime in. Let's all remember this IS the Mojave Desert.
