Learn how to improve soil so your garden needs WAY less water. This video was sponsored by Squarespace.

In this video, I show how to make a hugelkulture garden bed, using the stuff I had on hand. Using tips I've learned from the Back To Eden gardening method, lasagne gardening, and many other methods, I'm applying permaculture techniques like these as I build the garden and amend the soil on our new farm so the farm can work for me instead of me having to work for it. This gardening method builds up the soil structure into a giant sponge. Because It holds moisture so well without becoming waterlogged, you’ll find yourself needing to watering your garden way less. In fact, after using this method in my garden for five years in Seattle, I'd built up the soil so well that during a summer-long draught last year, I only had to water my garden twice.

In NASHVILLE, I have a woodworking, blacksmithing and fabrication shop, a selection of furry friends, and an organic farm. Whether you've got the knowledge, tools, time or space to do the things you've always wanted to do, everything is "figureoutable." I became "Anne of All Trades" out of necessity. With no background in farming or making things, I wanted to learn to raise my own food, fix things when they break, and build the things I need. 8 years ago I got my first pet, planted my first seed and picked up my first tool.
