Have you noticed much change in the soil level of your hugelkultur? Many of the medium-size hugels I have seen start to sink in the second and third years. Do you see any "bones" poking up from your soil?

Yes definitely, we had to tear down our first hugel bed this year and reuse it's soil here and elsewhere in other garden beds. The technique works optimally on the large scale with excavator employed. This mound started 5-6 feet higher then the surrounding area and quickly came down to level with the natural terrain. Took it only 2 years to settle down.
