by Elizabeth Trail Dense forests of bright green parsley. Waist- high kale, green-black and curly. Vegetables growing in profusion in soil so rich and light that a hand thrust among their roots travels downward a foot or more before reaching any impediment. It’s the impediment, the thing that finally stops the hand, that’s the surprise — logs and branches, layered one on top of the other in a loose mass. Topped with organic waste and then soil, it’s all decomposing slowly under the surface, providing an almost endless source of nutrients for the roots above. The practice is called hügelkultur, an old German invention that’s seeing a resurgence in popularity in this country. “Hügel” is the German word for “hill,” since the logs and brush and dirt are usually piled up to form a mound. On Saturday afternoon, two of the area’s garden experts, Rebecca Beidler and Jeff Ellis of Peace of Earth Farm in Albany, held a workshop to teach one variation on the hügelkultur idea — hügel terracing. The couple farms a steep hillside, so terraces are a logical adaptation. Their soil is sand with some gravel mixed in, left by a major road washout 50-some-odd years ago. “On its own, it barely grows grass,” Mr. Ellis said. But thanks to hügelkultur and other practices collectively known as permaculture, the couple has turned wasteland into a thriving small farm. The lessons they’ve learned in the process are invaluable to anyone trying to garden on less than ideal land. The workshop began with a little lesson on the history and theory of hügelkultur. Although the idea is very old, it was recently refined and popularized by Austrian permaculture expert Sepp Holzer. Mr. Holzer begins by digging a trench about a foot deep, filling it with logs and brush, and topping it with the inverted sod that was stripped off the top of the trench. From there, he builds up an A-shaped mound of organic material, waist to chest high, and covers it with dirt. The idea is to double or triple the planting surface on small pieces of land. The steep-sided mounds also let people tend the beds without having to bend much. But there are disadvantages to Mr. Holzer’s freestanding mounds as well. Preventing erosion to the steep sides can be a challenge where there’s a lot of rain. And in low-rainfall areas, the mounds may not trap and hold enough water. In desert areas, growers may need to dig a deeper pit and channel rainwater into it. A lower mound, or even a slight depression, would let plant roots reach the stored moisture. Urban gardeners have built patio-sized hügel mounds with wooden pallets for the sides. And on a hill like the one at Peace of Earth, hügel terracing is a logical alternative. It has the added benefit of avoiding the backbreaking step of digging a trench. Ms. Beidler says that just about any wood can be used in hügelkultur. “We use what we have,” she said. The main exceptions are cedar and black walnut, which have natural antibacterial, antifungal, and herbicidal properties; and black locust, which resists rot. But cedar and black locust would be great for the logs and stakes holding the fronts of the terraces because they’d last a long time. “We just don’t happen to have any,” Ms. Beidler said. After looking at pictures and learning a little about the theory, workshop participants got down and dirty. It was disappointing that a foreboding sky and dubious weather forecast apparently scared off most of the people who’d signed up for the workshop. It took four people most of the allotted workshop time to drag 12 hefty logs downhill and get them staked in place. But still, it was satisfying to see a new 24- foot-long terrace take shape over the course of the afternoon. The effect is rustic, but Ms. Beidler thinks about the practicality of it all. People can also use brick or stone for terrace walls, she said. Here’s how to build a hügel terrace, from someone who’s now tried it and has the back pain to prove it: Cut and limb enough logs to form the front edge of a terrace about three or four feet high, depending on how steep the slope is. The bigger the logs, the longer they’ll last — but the heavier they’ll be to carry. The pine logs used in the workshop were about eight to ten inches in diameter, and roughly eight feet long. Hardwood logs will likely be heavier. Cut another set of four-inch diameter logs for stakes. Dig postholes in pairs six or seven feet apart, deep enough to hold the stakes firmly and leave at least the height of the planned wall above ground. Each pair of stakes will be supporting an eight-foot section of logs. Stand each stake upright in its hole, drive it in farther with a sledgehammer, and backfill around it. Roll the logs into place against the stakes, with the biggest logs at the bottom. Fitting and fiddling to fit the logs together takes a lot of time. Logs have bumps and curves, and dirt will escape through any large gaps. That took up most of the three-hour workshop, leaving just a little time for a tour of the rest of the farm. So the rest of the lesson was theoretical. The goal is to fill the space between the log wall and the hillside with logs, brush, and any available organic material until it is level or slightly mounded. Start with fresh or partially rotted logs directly on the ground. Layer on smaller branches and brush. Stamp and tamp it all down as tightly as possible. Then add anything compostable — food scraps, manure, sawdust, and garden waste. Weeds need to be deeply buried. Finish the whole thing with topsoil. At Peace of Earth Farm, where topsoil would have to be imported, the sand is mixed with compost and sawdust. For the first few years, the decomposing wood and sawdust will need a lot of nitrogen, so plant nitrogen-fixing crops like peas, beans, or clover. The plants — or the bacteria that they host — will pull nitrogen from the air. When they die and decompose, that nitrogen becomes available to future generations of plants. Over the next 20 years, the wood will decompose and gradually turn to rich organic soil. As it settles, it will need to be topped off with new layers of organic material. Ms. Beidler and Mr. Ellis grow commercial quantities of pea sprouts under lights in their basement. The sprouts are sold or served at a number of local food co-ops and restaurants. After the tiny plants are harvested each week, the matted roots and soil matrix are layered on top of the soil all over the farm in a practice called sheet composting. The layers of organic matter suppress weeds while fresh, and decompose into the soil over time.

But the young couple bought what they couldafford at the time, and set about building the soilthey needed.
Through permaculture, they’ve built athriving farm.
While Mr. Ellis still works off-farm as one ofthe managers at the Buffalo Mountain Co-op inHardwick, Ms. Beidler has been able to quit herday job to farm full-time.
Permaculture is about building long-termsustainable agricultural ecosystems, whether on acity lot or a huge farm. Permaculture enthusiasts— who call themselves “permies” — are generallyundaunted by conditions that would daunttraditional farmers, like poor soil, lack of water,and the like.
Reclaiming marginal land is one of the thingspermies do.
And they can point to a lot of success stories. At Peace of Earth Farm, the proof is in the
thousands of pounds of vegetables being raised injust the acre or so of land around the house.
Over eight years, the smaller wood in the firstterraces has already decomposed enough to form
rich garden soil. The larger logs beneath arebecoming spongy, absorbing and holding water.
Shallow ditches on the uphill side of each terracetraps and holds rainwater as it runs downhill,allowing it to soak slowly down into the terraces.
On the higher and flatter ground where theChristmas trees once grew, there’s now acommercial-sized field of blueberries, two largegreenhouses surrounded by more rows ofvegetables, and movable pens of ducks andchickens being raised for meat and eggs.
In areas where the birds have eaten down thevegetation, scratched up the ground, and leftbehind a layer of enriching manure, meadowareas lush with bright green grass have replacedbrown tangles of weeds and vines.
In the woods, shitake and other fancymushrooms sprout from rows of cut and soakedbirch logs.
In winter, the laying hens feast on theleftover plants in the greenhouses. Their manurehelps build up that soil. And after the mushroomharvest, the ducks are turned in among the logsto feast on the slugs.
It’s a thriving system where every partinteracts.
Beyond what the eye can see, hügel terracesor mounds are what’s called “carbon sinks” — thecarbon dioxide pulled out of the air by the treesduring their lifetimes becomes part of the soilinstead of being released back into theatmosphere to contribute to climate change.
And in the meantime, all that wood isproviding a home for a rich subterraneanecosystem — beneficial bacteria, fungi, insects,and even the occasional small mammal that findsunderground spaces to hide and nest in.
“It’s totally a forest down there,” Mr. Ellissaid. “It’s mimicking a forest.”

From left to right, Jeffrey Ellis, Alessandra Nichols, and Rebecca Beidler inspect the lush crops and fertile soilcreated at Peace of Earth Farm in Albany through hügel terracing, a practice that buries waste wood and organicmaterial under a soil layer. The nutrients decompose over at least 20 years, creating rich and fertile soil.

CLARK’S CUSTOM MEAT PROCESSING
Booknow for fallbutchering!
by Joseph Gresser
We’ve had a couple of light frosts, but justabout everything in my garden survived. Thatmeans I have fresh tomatoes, basil, wintersquash, peppers, and kale all at the same time.In October, to boot.
That’s just strange, but it was a weird yearfor gardening. I have a friend who was forced toskip gardening this year. She picked the rightyear to miss.
We started out with about six weeks of coldrain. I waited longer than usual to plant and,even so, I had to replant several times becausethe seed rotted in the ground, or simply gotwashed away.
Things were even more serious for farmerswho rely on their corn crop for winter feed, andhad their efforts to get in a first cut of hayfrustrated by constant downpours.
In fact, the only person I’ve spoken with whowasn’t bothered by poor germination is TomStearns, who runs High Mowing Seeds. I raninto him at a meeting recently and told him howmany times I had to reseed.
He didn’t actually jump up and down andclap his hands, but he did smile complacently atmy story.
All’s well that ends well, as the bard said.And I can’t complain about the harvest. I’venever seen the freezer so fully packed and thereis still plenty of food growing outside.
For the first time since late blight hit theregion six years ago I have a decent crop oftomatoes. For that I have to thank Mr. Stearns.
His company offered a new variety calledDamsel that tastes like a real tomato and, atleast this year, shrugged off the blight. It’s goodenough for me to give Mr. Stearns a pass on thesmirk.
For some reason cherry tomatoes don’t seemto be bothered much by disease. We grew threeplants and are still harvesting a quart or so everyseveral days.
The few cherry tomatoes that don’t get eatenright off the vine get sliced in half and tossed intothe food drier. Our strategy is to get them abouthalf dry, a bit leathery but still moist and then tobox them up and squeeze them into the freezer.
They thaw quickly and add a lot of flavor to awinter salad.
Most of the bush beans got nipped by the twonights of light frost we’ve had so far. That is amercy; the freezer says it doesn’t want anymore.I pulled the plants, but saved a bunch of thetough old beans for a minestrone soup, one ofautumn’s great pleasures.
Spring peas were a disaster this year. Theygrew to about a foot tall and produced a weeniecrop. I’d heard it is possible to grow peas in thefall and it seems to be true. Right now I’ve gothealthy pea plants that are flowering andbeginning to produce pods.
The only question is whether the weather willremain mild enough for the pods to ripen. Timewill tell, I suppose.
Autumn spinach is another treat, and the lateplanting looks beautiful. I’ll certainly sow somemore to winter over under a cold frame.
For some reason, probably late planting, Iusually can’t grow a good crop of kale. This year
I planted early and often (that rain again) andhave been rewarded with a crop so big that I mayhave to bale the stuff.
The flavor of kale, like that of parsnips,improves after a good solid freeze. It’s goodenough without a frost to enjoy with cherrytomatoes in a spaghetti dish that takes only aslong to prepare as the time needed to boil thepasta.
Spaghetti with cherry tomatoes and kale
1 pound spaghetti1 pound cherry tomatoes, halved (about 2
pints)2 lemons, zested1/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons olive oil2 teaspoons salt1 bunch kale or spinach, leaves only, washed
and choppedSalt and pepper, to tasteParmesan cheese, for serving
Put a large pot of salted water on high heat.When it comes to a rolling boil add spaghetti andcook.
Place the tomatoes, lemon zest, salt, and oilin a pan.
Add water and cover. Let the tomatoessimmer for a few minutes with the lid off the pan.Add kale and cook until the sauce thickens —that should just about be the time the spaghettiis ready.
Taste. Correct seasoning, if necessary, andserve with a topping of grated Parmesan cheese.
I also replanted cabbages several times andas a result could live on nothing but coleslaw forthe next ten years or until the mayonnaise runsout.
Despite the rotten weather at the beginningof the growing season, I’ve been harvesting asteady stream of poblano peppers. They areabout as long as standard bell peppers, but taperto a point and their skin looks as if it had beenpolished. They have a little heat to them, but notas much as, say, a jalapeño.
In New Mexico they are dried and then calledancho peppers.
The anchos are reconstituted by soaking inboiling water and then used to make chiliesrellenos, a delightful pepper and cheesecombination.
There is no reason not to use the freshpoblanos if you have them.
Chilies rellenos con queso
6 poblano peppers6 1/2-inch slices Monterey Jack cheeseflour for dredging1/4 cup vegetable oil3 cups Mexican tomato sauce (see below)2 or 3 eggs, separated
Make a slit down the side of each pepper,leaving the stem on. Remove and discard seeds.Rinse the chilies and drain.
Put a slice of cheese inside each chili. Dusteach chili lightly with flour.
Heat the oil and bring the tomato sauce to asimmer.
Beat the egg yolks until they get thick andturn a lemony yellow color.
Clean out the mixer and beat the whites untilthey form soft peaks.
Fold the yolks into the whites and dip eachchili into the egg mixture until it is thoroughlycoated.
Fry one chili at a time in the hot oil, turningonce and spooning hot oil over any uncookedplaces.
Cook until golden brown.As each chili is finished cooking, drop it into
the simmering tomato sauce. Let cook for fiveminutes and serve hot.
Mexican tomato sauce
1/3 cup chopped onion3 cups canned plum tomatoessalt to taste1/2 teaspoon oregano2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Combine the onion, tomatoes, salt, andoregano in a food processor. Process until smooth.
Heat the oil in a casserole and add the tomatomixture. Simmer for ten minutes.
