Raised Beds
Yuska, thanks for the link.
Thats some rich looking soil.
We have one bed in the community garden that was formed in a similar manner, except out soil is adobe clay over the branches. That bed has produced a bumper crop of termites. Hmmm, wonder if anyone has analysed the nutrient content of termite manure?
