Fencing in the Huggle

Todays weather was as gorgeous as yesterday was dismal!!
I thought I could work on the Huggle 🙂
Chopping and shaping more stakes – I quite like this process!

Then off to start pruning the snowball bushes to get some weaving materials.

This was the point where I was wondering how much of a pain this was going to be and mentally putting the blame squarely on Mavis from One Hundred Dollars a Month’s shoulders for putting the idea into my head haha.

Actually, really not too bad. It probably would have helped to google it and watched others do it to get some tips, but I don’t mind learning curves.

For my next one I will put the stakes much closer together to make the weaving easier.

Since I hadn’t disposed of Tentaculars vines I thought I might try to use some of those to see how they went.

Once the leaves fall off, it will add extra mulch and hopefully the vines won’t be too brittle…??
I am now doing a bit of a mix of both materials

Really hoping this doesn’t look completely lame when I am done!!! Once I have it up to a height that I am happy with, I’ll cut all the stakes off to a similar length.
You can probably tell I also added a layer of straw to the ever-growing hugelkultur!!

I reckon I’ll be adding a layer of mushroom compost in the spring, but for now, apart from the fence, this Huggle-Monster is free to rest and compost its little heart out over winter!
Have a great day!
Cheers
