My mistake with both my hugelbeds was to not put enough soil on top. The one started last year is finally able to grow a nice crop of peas, so will improve as I finesse it.
The second one I'm still tweaking. Again, I don't think there was enough soil and it may have also been a bit steep sided.

I have photos posted on one of the other threads of the beginnings.
There are ones from this year on my camera and I'll post them as soon as I can get around to it.

My next attempt will be better and the next, better still.

I'm at the same point Blake was when this thread was started. Please Critique! Anything you would do differently? What should I plant for zone 6? Mostly edible and perennial would be the preference. Full Southern Exposure all day.

Thanks!

Love to see how this looks in the spring, Ryan. Your subdivision looks a lot like mine in Liberty. If you need a hand with something, let me know.
