Since I read about this, I've been itching to try it. I'm curious because I'm of Scandinavian descent (among other things). There were always old stories in our area about how the first settlers buried trees as they cleared the land. When I was a kid, I thought it was stupid. Leter, I understood that it would be a good way to smooth out your field to throw the unuseable wood into any low spots. Now, having read about huglekultur, I am wondering if it may have been an old practice in Northern Europe. In any event, I'm trying it out with an old pile of birch and poplar.
For starters, dug a hole 3 foot by 8 foot and about 1 foot deep.
