I've always wanted to do this in Australia but most of our trees nearby are gum trees and I'm yet to get any info on people who have done it that way. Envying US biodiversity.

Yeah, gum tree's don't sound like a good source. I'll have to research those, but if the name relates to the sap, then they'll probably be in the same category as Pine, which isn't usable.

Thank you very much I am humbled.😀

Ah this is so awesome!!! We built a tiny mound last year and it woked really well. We have very rocky ground so it is a perfect way to build dirt here.

Thanks for the story... will be on the lookout for your next post!

It's been a while my friend. I'm glad to see you're still active here.

Ha yes it has been a while! I've only been slightly active these last couple months or more... busy busy busy!

Glad to see you're still here too.

It was funny, I was literally just telling my friend about these beds the other day! I saw it for the first time (explained at least) on Homestead Rescue, a pretty cool show on American TV. The concept is awesome and it saves a lot of water!

Awesome post, thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much my friend. I'm glad you liked it and it's the most detailed article you'll find on the technique, coupled with part-1 here

Intetesting read. Gonna come back later and dig a little deeper
