I built 2 and 3 foot hugelkulture beds. Loaded withStumps, branches, sticks,and leaves. This is  the third year with little to no problem with weeds. I love the height for my old knees. The addition to PVC pipes it is easy to cover and get plants started early.
Love reading all the different ideas!! Jo

I live in Central NC.
Last year I planted sweet potatoes with my corn. The leaves on the sweet potatoes went crazy! When it was time to harvest I had aprox. 40 lbs of sweet potatoes How to cure them...well I read on some you tube channel this guy put a pan of water on the bottom of is oven and put a string of incandescent christmas lights in the oven with his potatoes. I tried that and the lights heated up the oven nicely but I use my oven often so I lined a box with foil put a pan of water in the bottom put bricks and  wood supports to hold  the potatoes 3 layers  then put the lights inside.
I gave most of the potatoes to a non profit " The Table" I keep a few which lasted months.
I had one left that I used to grow this years crop. Love this site thanks for all the great info
