Thank you! Yes they are turning out well, we used old pine logs we had to cut down, then tilled the ground, put about a 4 inch layer of wood chips, leaves, topsoil, compost and amendments. It's a simple form of hugelculture. It will break down over the years in good organic matter. Everything we have put in them is doing very well so far without any added fertilizer and the worms love it! It also helps with wet and dry seasons.
