Water will bring in the silt, it gets trapped and with each weather event it gradually turns into a wall of humus. It will grow whatever gets caught in the silt trap and can handle the conditions.<br /><br />Can I call it an above-ground hydroponic, huglekulture bed? ;)<br /><br />I haven't added more soil to this area, because I'm not entirely sure how I will shape the lower areas. Still much to do though. I'm just relieved I took the first step to breaking up the bottleneck. :)Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284944855633609232.post-87626953441509008582013-10-29T22:52:02.176+10:002013-10-29T22:52:02.176+10:00I use to get distressed in painting class because ...I use to get distressed in painting class because inevitably the painting would look overworked and ugly. My teacher used to say that this was a necessary process and that even famous artists had to face it-it had to get ugly before it got to where it needed to go. <br />What amuses me about permaculture is that all that work looks like its for nothing to an untrained eye but really its worth volumes isn't it? <br />When I saw your "silt dam" made of twigs I thought of huglekulture.I suppose that might create a real dam if you actually added soil but maybe for future reference?<br />linda marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14201901762476827737noreply@blogger.com
