Reply To: Raised no-dig beds on a slope

[Tesi]

There was a documentary on the BBC recently about the Mayans and how they successfully grew crops on a steep hill. They terraced their beds, used stones in their beds so they could be heated up during the day and during the night the stones would release heat and so on. Have a look on I player it’s probably still available to see. Sounds like a really exciting project. I’d go with the contours of the land as much as possible. Beds can be contoured and fluid, use the stones to your advantage. Have a look at Hügelkultur from Sepp Holzer for ideas as well.
