Also called "raised-bed gardening"? At least it looks like the same or very similar concept.

  Traditional raised bed gardens don't hold water well and require artificial watering almost every day due to how they drain - At least in my experience. Hugels hold water and slowly allow plants to wick the moisture when it is needed. They really start working well at year 2-3.

    > Traditional raised bed gardens don't hold water well You should probably dig (loose a little the soil) the base of the raised bed garden before build it, or maybe to choose better your species list to fit your climate.
