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.
