Anyone heard of this? Its basically a huge raised garded bed with logs, sticks and wood buried under it to eliminate the need for watering and to help feed the soil.

This page gives a good description.

What are your thoughts on doing something like this in Ireland where its lovely and wet already

you asked for our thoughts well I think its a stupid idea
For years farmers down the country have being piling soil and stones and filling gaps with hawthorn and blackthorn at the side of fields and ended up with the same structures,
1. will you have to buy the trees
2. what happens when it collapses
3.rain could wash the nutrients out of the soil through the bottom.
sorry looks like too much work for little reward.

i failed to see how it works, put try out a small one, and see how you get on, but im afraid it makes no sense, the watering part, for me,
