Let's Grow KI creates Hügelkultur mound

K.I. SAWYER, Mich. (WBUP/WJMN) — A unique community project is taking root in K.I. Sawyer. In October, residents joined together to build a 40-foot-long, 4-foot-high Hügelkultur mound as part of plans for the K.I. Sawyer Sustainable Food Forest. Hügelkultur is an ancient European gardening technique that uses layers of logs, branches, leaves, compost, and soil to create a raised planting bed that holds water and releases nutrients over time. The mound will help protect fruit trees scheduled to be planted next spring from cold west winds, while also improving growing conditions. The project is part of a DNR Urban and Community Forestry Grant that was awarded to the Marquette County Planning Division in partnership LGKI and the Marquette County Conservation District.
