Lasagna Gardening

 

" Lasagna gardening isn't about growing lasagna, and it isn't about

growing the great vegetables and herbs found in lasagna recipes.

Instead, lasagna gardening is a timesaving organic gardening method

developed by gardener and writer, Patricia Lanza, which requires no

digging, no tilling and no sod removal.

 

A Garden of Layers

 

Lasagna Gardening is a nontraditional organic gardening method that

relies on a layering method called " sheet composting. " The name

" Lasagna, " comes from the way garden beds are created from layers,

the same way you layer ingredients when making a pan of lasagna.

Watering and weeding are reduced through the heavy layers of mulch

and by planting crops close together. The lasagna layering method

quickly builds soils that are incredibly rich in nutrients, resulting

in higher than average garden productivity. The method also works

great for container gardening. "
