Just another Day on the Farm 
So whats the difference between the beds you’ve got? looks like some are just bales, then some are heavy straw ontop soil
The bales are year old round bales that were baled hot and wet and left in the field, they are set up in a predug, premade hugelculture wood base, and this is year one of what will be a five to ten year bed built and working with them.
The ground straw bale area is a 700 feet strip in my food forest, we rounded out a bale, back and forth, created hills and planted in them, the squash bed area is really just a flip idea, instead of clearing the land, making the hills and then mulching, I just flipped it for a lot less work, I layed down the mulch, made the hills and let it go, instant garden..
