The wood pile with leaves and soil on top (in the style of hugelkulture as it’s not very tall) is showing signs of life. The seeds I cast a few weeks ago are starting to take, which is exciting. I thought for sure I’d be stuck with a dirt pile for the year, and would have no legitimate excuse to continue my “dirt-pile experiments.”

I’ve cast peas, radishes, clover, and random seeds from the kitchen on here. I deliberately planted some beans, but have not seen any signs of life yet. (Fingers crossed).

The base of the pile is black locust, so it’ll be around for a long time.
