The great thing is this method can be adapted to most any size and shape, even container gardening in something like a 15 or 30 gallon fabric pot. If logs are too big then use sticks and other pieces of woody debris or hardwood chips. Add a small amount (10% of total soil volume or less) of bio char and some mychorizae supplement to the soil and you'll have incredibly fertile soil for years.
Also, to any new gardeners, I can't overstate how important a good mulch layer is. I don't mean the dyed and bagged stuff from the store but an actual organic layer of material on top of your soil. Bare soil loses moisture very quickly so a couple inches of straw, wood chips, leaves, and so on not only stops evaporative water loss but also insulates and feeds the top soil over time.
Wow, never heard of this method before! Wish my yard was big enough (and sunny enough) to do things like this. Someday!!
