RE: How to Build A Hugel Mound & Grow Enough Food to Share: One of The Cheapest and Most Sustainable Grow Methods!
I am really sorry I didn't mention what a great idea that was to trench and USE limbs, stumps etc for water retention ! Excellent idea. so many people, even all over america waste so much water through evaporation from sprinkling water, which increases heat on the surface of the soil. Really not good for plants on those hot summer days, and wasting water. Your plan is great for water retention and feeding plants. The raised bed idea has always been a good one, you just take it to another level. VERY WELL DONE Indeed ! (And Yes I know how hot it gets in Arlington) You guys are ROCKIN IT ! I am so glad to be back on the net and seeing you all still going strong. Gratz !

Excellent points, @jtstreetman, and water retention is indeed a valuable property of the hugel mound - just one reason we make them part of our garden plan!
