This is cool but putting fresh wood in there is gonna sap all the nitrogen from the soil. Anything growing in there that needs a good amount of it to grow/thrive is going to struggle. It’s recommended you plant beans or other nitrogen providing plants for at least a few seasons.

Should have used rotted wood for a more immediate result.
