Our Chicken Coop turned HE Shed ​- Growing massive amounts of fruit at the base of our man cave, also known as our Buck Shed! Also Zone 1, growing peaches, concord grapes, currents, elderberries, juneberries, mint, yarrow, herbs and various other berries! This may just be our most productive area on the farm! This shed sits at the top of a hill, directly above our terrace hugelkultur gardens. The manure run off and water runs downhill and gets trapped in the beds on the way down the hill, therefore keeping water where it needs to go! We have never had to water any of the hugelkultur beds as they retain lots of moisture from the decaying wood at their base. Lots of folks grow mushroom in hugelkultur mounds for this very reason!
When our shed arrived in 2012. Dropped in the middle of the lawn and nothing else.
Boy, how the currents love living near the stinky boys!!
Our peach tree needed a little more fencing around it since we have some bigger boys in there this year, so it struggled some this year!  Spearmint works well as an aromatic ground cover underneath the tree, and the boys don't seem to both it too much - I think they had their fill early on! lol.
Lesson learned on where to plant elderberries! They get HUGE, especially where there is lots of manure around!

A sea of elderberries!
