Yeah I too have taken to building my compost piles directly over my garden beds - why didn't I think of this before ?!
Also came up with "power mulching" this year - I plop down entire bales of hay one next to the other as a fall "cover crop" ( weed supression and organic matter) in the spring I lift them up to plant - the soil is awesome, and it's that much easier to spread the pre- rotted bales as mulch...

She basically made a compost pile, then planted crops in it
and made a new compost pile until her whole garden was filled in
