Soil layers

I was weeding a path in my veggie garden this weekend.  I sat on the cement block and made it lean forward.  I noticed the soil in the raised bed was wet enough that it staid in place.  So I pulled the blocks off.  This made it easy for me to weed under the block to keep the weed from coming up the holes, it's hard to remove them from that spot sometimes.  Once weeded I put down weed cloth and put the board I took from my old raised bed.  It started out as a wooden twin bed frame.  I took it off the trailer bound for the dump.  It was a great raised bed for about 5 years.  Now it will create a level spot for the blocks and keep the weed out of a tight spot that is difficult to weed.  I'm sharing this with you because I thought the layers in the soil where very cool, so I took a couple of pictures, and thought some of you may find it interesting.  This is a hugel beet I built in the spring of 2020 I think. (you think you will remember and don't. I should have put it in my garden book, oh well next time.)  Any way it was very productive last year, and I hope even more so this year.

Wonderful!  If only we could all see our soil that way!

Cool right?  I though I built this as a hugel beet which for me means I would dig into the ground so the first layer would be below ground level, but the weed cloth get me thinking 🤔. It comes from under the bed, and doesn't go far enough to go under the cement blocks.  I can tell I built it in the style of a hugel beet, but I must not have dug into the ground.  Eventually I will change this, but I will leave it be for now.  It will be interesting to see how it differs from the hugel beets that go under ground.  I also realized I need to be documenting more than the info about what I planted and how it did.  It would be nice to know exactly when I built this, and how.    Happy gardening
