My hugel mound is about 4.5 feet high and only about two feet wide, with steep sides and 6 feet long. I got a little carried away with the leaves and coffee grounds. I also added 50 pounds of alfalfa meal. I plan to get some big stumps and smooth it out to about two feet high, four feet across and 8 feet long. All the snow is off it now, and am waiting for it to thaw. I plan to throw lettuce, onions, peas, and spinach in there as soon as it thaws out enough to work in a little.
As I said before, I plant to fill it with melons, winter squash, and some beans. Who knows what else. It will likely be a hodge-podge of robust vegetation!
