This question has probably already been answered on the forums, but I haven't been able to find the answer yet.  If I build a 7' x 24' foot Hugelkultur, do I apply for and receive all three of the following BBs for 7x6, 7x12, and 7x24?

Build a Hugelkultur (7x6) - PEP BB gardening.sand.hugelkultur
Build a Hugelkultur (7x12) - PEP BB gardening.straw.hugelkultur
Build a 7 by 24 Hugelkultur - PEP BB gardening.wood.hugelkultur

Nope, most BBs don't overlap that way.  You can build a 6', 12' and 24' hugel separately or in one 42' super hugel or a combination thereof.  Good question!
 
And then the flying monkeys attacked. My only defense was this tiny ad:
