PARIS, Aug 17 — Hugelkultur is a horticultral method that allows a vegetable garden to be created on a mound of plant waste. There are many advantages to the technique, particularly when it comes to water retention. So much so that hugelkultur, or mound culture is catching on among gardeners in California, which is in the grip of an unprecedented drought.

Although not prominent in the theoretical writings of permaculturists, mound culture espouses permaculture principles. To form vegetable garden crops, a fertile base of trunks, branches, straw or wood chips is built up in order to provide the soil with sufficient nutrients. In recent years, hugelkultur techniques, originally practiced in Europe, have been applied to California gardens to boost water retention and cope with the drought in the region. Indeed a major advantage of hugelkultur is that it’s not water intensive.
