Started doing my personal gardens this way 18 years ago when I was cleaning up part of the woods. I dug 2' deep 100' long 4' wide trenches and pushed the woods debris into the trenches and then covered it and mounded the dirt from the trenches over the debris and then raised the rows to 2' high with top soil scraped up from between rows. Killed 3 birds with one stone, fixed the drainage problem in that area, Raised the planting area above the saturated soil from the close to the surface aquifer that didn't recede enough until early June to plant anything, and after a couple of years the nutrients from decaying logs, stick and leafs leached up and created super fertile and nutrient dense soil to grow in. Then I add 4" of top dressing of Composted manure every fall and till it in those 15 rows are the most productive by about 3X than the rest of the farm.
