Lasagna Bed Permaculture. Each of the three beds was created with slightly. Lasagna gardening is a no-dig, no-till organic gardening method that results in rich, fluffy soil with very little work from the gardener.
This technique, also known as lasagna gardening, can build remarkable soils in just a few. After reading about it in one of my permaculture books, he decided to try a technique called lasagna gardens for his next two beds. This technique utilizes permaculture practices to build up and help maintain soil organic matter.
Lillian and the interns were creating a new lasagna bed in the garden.
I covered my planting area with a thick layer of these paper products, overlapping them as I placed them down, and then wet them thoroughly.
It's easy, effective, simple, and most importantly for me, it is VERY productive. As the materials break down, worms move in, softening the soil below, and creating a healthy, aerated planting bed where once there was compacted, dead clay. The term lasagna comes from the way that one layers carbon and nitrogen layers in the garden to build up your bed.
