Sounds like you've been busy,I think you'll like it. Good luck.

Actually, closer to 40' length and about 3' high.
Currently covered in vegetation and growth. Have harvested some already.

One year later and again this has worked out to be a great addition and center piece to our garden. We have a lush variety of plantings on top and around the sides. It has compacted slightly, but holding shape quite well. What has been planted is growing quite well. We've recently harvest a few heirloom caggabe and some basil, parsley, and dill. Lots more coming along.

We built this mound about 5 years ago and it produced great after little over 3 years,so don't waste those logs and brush,they make great natural fertilizer and fantastic water conservation.

Watermellons grown in our mound, never watered it or fertilized .
Had illness in family so had to stop for awhile but it stlll works after about 6 years now.

First I dug down abour 3 ft. They threw in some logs I hauled using a hang truck ,then put brush on top of logs, sand brush and covered with sand. mine is only about 15' long and 3 ' W. since I did it by hand most people use heavy equipment plus I was in my 60s.
