Cheers art.spliff, I love this stye of growing and have some comments

The first vid show a classic what not to do. inputs are too dry and not enough soil (unless added later ) even with that, adding dry leaves on top makes a cap that sheds water doubling down on insufficient moisture in the future. fail. . Looks pretty tho

Second vid is better with adequate amount of soil but missed watering in the layers of dirt making soil to wood contact UNDERNEATH the logs as well the top.That is why most beds fail to perform as expected.

hydration is critical for the nutrient cycling process to get off to a good start.

Here is a slightly better vid IMO

At the 8 minute mark he is saturating the bed and explaining in hindsight he should have watered the layers in.
