i should also ask, when you originally filled them, did you use the HugelKulture method?
That is, drop cardboard, (to keep grass and weeds from growing up), put the bed down,
1st layer: add lots of limbs, large sticks, some fill, leaves,
next layer: smaller sticks, twigs, leaves, fill w/ soil, some mostly broken down compost, etc
top layer: good quality compost/rich growing soil.

We did. Cardboard as an inexpensive barrier to weeds. Then fill because good soil is expensive. Then top soil. I bought 9 yards! do the math on filling up raised beds it adds up quick. Then richer growing soil on top.
Will do.
I have heard downed logs, bit limbs, sticks, etc. for the very bottom.
