Hugelkultur

Huglkultur is a technique for preparing raised beds and improving soil quality. The idea is simple: allow decaying wood to pile underneath your topsoil, and the woody materials will decompose into rich, fertile soil. Does anybody have experience with this technique? I've seen it implemented once while on a farm tour and was impressed with the improvement over traditional beds.
