I find this very interesting. I have been doing no till, mulch beds or years. I have 3, 4 x 50' beds that are doing ok. I just put them in last fall. Have amended with composted wood chips, mushroom compost, and hay twice. As I know it will take a bit for it to really take off, I've done it before. I'm contemplating digging in and doing hugels. It's a lot of work, I have the material on the property. Would you say go for it per your experiment? Lots of brush and dead trees down that I need to do something with. Sitting on the fence post.
