Here's the construction of my beds (3)
1. The carpet is an old "outdoor carpet" cut in two to keep weeds down.
2. The first bed was mainly sticks, soil, compost and whatnot... it is now 2 seasons old, and much flatter.
3. the second hugel I built up to around 5 feet, and still needs to be covered.
4. the third hugel is whatever sticks and things, and is also in process. I wanted them to age differently in case there is a sudden decline, I can fix them one at a time.
5. weed trees give me trouble.. but that's mainly because I had a busy work year, which made keeping an eye a bit more difficult.
