The preparations for the test hugelkultur rows for the Styrian pumpkins are coming along, slowly. We thought we’d be completed by the end of January but we’re just now making the time to top them with manure and screened compost. Our feathered friends are working alongside us as stealth controllers of wireworms in the overturned sod clods. Last year we had wireworm woes in the new vegetable beds so we’re hoping this year the click beetles will give us a bit of a reprieve!
