Creating Hills in the Garden (you be the teacher)

In this installment of Farmgirl School, you are the teacher!  Please respond with your ideas and experiences.  We will all greatly appreciate the inspiration!

So, in this crazy idea of mine where we have meandering paths around and through the gardens (on this very flat land), I would like to create some height.  I think it would be interesting to create a look of natural hills and curves.

Now, how does a girl that may have spent her gardening budget on seeds create such a thing on the cheap?

Doug’s idea is to outline the “hill” with rocks.  Fill center with the discarded branches around here.  Fill it with fill dirt (am I bringing that home in my Fiat?) and then organic soil.  Seems a good plan.  What else can we do?

What say you?

    My thoughts were hills made from branches, although these do rot down in time.

    1. I think that might be the best idea right now!
