r/Hugelkultur

I recently bought a home and this will be my first garden. The home had an above ground pool and an old outdoor oven that I removed. The result is uneven ground.

I also had a couple apple trees that were dead and I had those chipped and I have the mulch from the trees.

I would like to rake the mulch down to make it level and then add logs on top of that. I have cedar containers that are 6 feet long 3 feet wide and about 22 inches in height I planned on putting the wood and other things inside of that.

How important is it for the ground to be level? Is this the right thought process?
