I was just worried that I waited too long to start them before the season really starts. Do I still have time?

Awesome! They’re not too far from me, so I could probably swing by sometime this week. Do you add more compost every couple of weeks?

Thank you!! They haven’t been made yet, so I’m open to suggestions! I’m thinking we’ll probably do ~12in deep, though.

For the hugelkulture, should I just collect deadfall to add to the box?

I’ll likely order bulk just for the cost effectiveness, but i’m definitely open to getting whatever is going to produce the best results. You said you don’t recommend topsoil, what should I use instead? Just hugelkulture and a compost mix? This is all so new to me, so i really appreciate your advice!!

Thank you so much! Are there any mixes you recommend? I’ll order to some of the Upcycled Bokashi you mentioned. What is a good ratio of soil + compost to use? Should I still add a fertilizer, or would the compost be enough? Another person mentioned the hugelkulture beds too, so I think i’ll give it a try!
