🌱 Google Hills, or Hugelkultur beds, are raised planting beds composed of layers of natural materials that retain water and nutrients for plants.

🪴 Google Hills are great for plant growth and can even work better than regular beds.

💦 The main uses of Google Hills are for placemaking, water channeling and absorption, and gardening.

🌧️ Google Hills are good at absorbing water due to deteriorating logs in the base layer, and they can be shaped to channel water to or away from a desired location.

🔄 Google Hills promote recycling by using old materials like railroad ties and logs to build the beds.

🌳 Google Hills provide a large amount of nutrients and water to the plants planted on top of them, contributing to their growth.

⛈️ Google Hills can mitigate stormwater runoff and reduce flooding when used on a large scale.

🔲 Google Hills can save space and materials compared to traditional raised garden beds.

⚒️ The steps to construct a Google Hill include locating the desired spot, digging a trench, laying down logs and branches, stacking layers of soil and manure or compost, and planting desired plants.
