Some years later during replanting I made one of the beds Hügelkultur and the results between the non Hügelkultur and Hügelkultur beds was very evident.
Fast forward to today I no longer suffer from arthritis due to lifestyle changes and turmeric but my 73 year old mother is still trying to garden with two hip replacements, one knee replacement and the other knee replacement on its way.
So I decided to make her these for her:

I intend to add more wood to the top, and then add the topsoil from her garden at ground level to top it all off.
I'll post some more photos when I get the wood layer added.
