Fill Your Garden Beds for CHEAP! Modified Hugelkultur Gardening
Filling our new raised garden beds and saving money on soil costs by using sticks and grass clippings as part of a modified hugelkultur approach. Plus, installing a cattle panel bean tunnel trellis for cucumbers, pole beans, and luffa gourds.

We started with putting cardboard in the bottom of our beds as a weed barrier; it helps with the initial fill up and breaks down over time so our deep-rooting vegetables have access to more dirt than what is in the bed now. Then we added sticks, grass clippings, and other natural lawn debris to the beds – things that will compost over time but allow us to save some money on the soil fill-up.
Once our beds were as full as we could reasonably get them we added topsoil we purchased in bulk from a local store. Soil is much cheaper if you can buy it by the scoop rather than the bag and if you are filling multiple large beds those savings add up quick.
Finally we added a cattle panel trellis for pole beans, luffa gourds, and cucumbers. We see these things everywhere now and they always look so good when they’re grown up. In the future we’ll add more but for now this is a great start.
