Almost all of our garden beds are raised, most are two to three feet high. That makes for a lot less bending over. To fill in the beds, you start with tree branches and other waste wood, then cover with 6 or more inches of soil, and top off with mulch. As the wood decomposes it fertilizes the soil. It's similar to hugelkultur, which is done in berms instead of beds.</p></blockquote><p></p>
