Hugel - does the soil level drop over time ?

12 years ago

Just curious
if you build a Hugelculture bed, with branches and other raw material
Does the level drop over time ?
Since the stuff gets broekn down, i would imagine it has to.
i read someone mention that once before.

I guess its not a problem, if its 3ft high,
but the one i built, is only several inches above grade.
with just small branches and grass clippings.
i thought it would be a foot or more, but after a rain and some settling, its only a few inches high. and when those grass clippings and branches degrade, i imagine it will drop more ?
