Hügelkultur (German pronunciation: [ˈhyːɡl̩kʊlˌtuːɐ̯]) is a horticultural technique where a mound constructed from decaying wood debris and other compostable biomass plant materials is later (or immediately) planted as a raised bed. Adopted by permaculture advocates, it is suggested the technique helps to improve soil fertility, water retention, and soil warming, thus benefiting plants grown on or near such mounds.

Like I said, hugelkultur is basically just wood buried in soil. The wood soaks up water like a sponge, and eventually (after about a year and a half) breaks down and starts to decompose. While it's decomposing, it regulates water in your garden. It soaks up water when the soil is saturated, like when you get heavy rainfall in the spring, and then is slowly released when the soil is dry like during the summer.
