Hügelkultur Raised Garden Beds Part 1 - What is Hügelkultur?
Part 2 - Why Use Hügelkultur?
Part 3 - How to Build a Hügelbed
Hügelkultur is a centuries-old, traditional way of building a garden bed from rotten logs and plant debris. These mound shapes are created by marking out an area for a raised bed, clearing the land, and then heaping up woody material (that’s ideally already partially rotted) topped with compost and soil.
Downed trees, fallen branches headed for the brush pile, and rough lumber can all be used; you are essentially taking rotting wood and allowing it to compost in place for a super fertile, moisture-retaining garden bed.
These mounds can be 5 to 6 feet high—massive heaps of logs, branches, leaves, straw, manure or compost mounded to be wider at the bottom than at the top. As the wood shrinks and breaks down, a hügelbed sinks; one that is 6 feet high, for example, will sink to about 2 feet after several years of decomposition and settling.

Setbacks in life are the catalysts for new growth and evolution.
Do not be crumbled by your hardships - find a way to turn your pain into strength and you will be unstoppable.

This is exactly what we are seeing today.
The world IS waking up.
Humanity is undergoing a rapid evolution of consciousness.
A shift so great that the Cult HAS to create chaos in order to have any attempt at having their slave system survive.
However, there is nothing they can do, it is only a matter of time before the entire house of cards collapses.

The system wants you to think that you are a random, insignificant, coincidence when in reality you are nothing less than a miracle.
Life is a miracle, and you have life... how could you not be a miracle?

Organic Diet Reduces Pesticide Levels In Humans Up To 90% In Just One Week
A 2019 study published in the journal Environmental Research titled, “Organic diet intervention significantly reduces urinary pesticide levels in U.S. children and adults” found that diet is the primary source of pesticide exposure in both children and adults in the United States.
The researchers noted that all of us are exposed “to a cocktail of toxic synthetic pesticides linked to a range of health problems from our daily diets.” They tested four American families that don’t typically eat organic food to see if anything would change. All pesticides detected in the body dropped an average of 60.5% after just six days on an organic diet.
Another study conducted by researchers from RMIT university several years ago published in the journal Environmental Research found that eating an organic diet for just one week significantly reduced pesticide exposure in adults by up to 90 percent.
