Perma-mulching. Does anyone recall where someone posted pics of mulching trees on the ground. Thank you

Hi Patricia,
There's a recent topic in the Coffee Corner called "Why Time Passes Faster as you Age".

In reply #33, I made a comment about my current project, which is making a Hugelkultur garden bed from trees which were recently blown down by a storm. I included 4 images in the post, and a link to the same site you have found.

The Hugelkultur concept seems ideal for Australian weather conditions which include alternating wet and dry periods of significant duration. During dry periods, a Hugelkultur garden bed should require less watering, and generally less fertilizing.

Ideally, the mound should be located in a swale so the water doesn't run away during heavy rain.
