Keyhole Garden - How to make an African style raised bed

[MrWorldhater]

I think the best part is how they all worked together. I would be building this by myself. Then when i was finished, all my stupid neighbors would probably complain about how it looks. But I do think its an awsome garden.

I two questions. What is the purpose of the wood ash in the center? And...What is the purpose of the purpose of the dried straw/plant matter used as the base layer before placing the dirt and compost? Thanks.

@tocof1 Hi, the wood ash is to add alkaline if local soils are acidic (instead of using lime). The plant matter traps moisture in the soil for the dry season. It also rots down and turns into compost over time.
