I had heard that they get better with age. Good to know that it’ll get better.We did this with our raised beds a few years ago. The first year, our plants didn't grow so well. I don't know if it was the hugelkultur or something else we might have done. The second year and after was much better and I expect this year to be good as well. Either way, it saves you a lot on soil to fill the beds.
Hard wood and some pine. All had been down for some time.Did you use pine logs or white softwood logs ?
Yes used chicken poop before covering with soil.And did you remember to put some type of fertilizer down on em? That'll keep em from tying up nitrogen.
The only thing I would worry about with the pine is soil acidification.Hard wood and some pine. All had been down for some time.
Poplar is good, too.I’ve always heard to use species such as elm and sweet gum. Green trees would start decaying fairly quick once in contact with soil.
Good to go then!Yes used chicken poop before covering with soil.
