Lasagna Gardening
On the other blog I contribute to, http://www.youthfarmers.blogspot.com/, we're tracking the progress of the small farm project my youth program has started. Today at the farm we built a raised bed, covered it in roofing copper (to protect it from the slugs) and filled it using the lasagna method.
The point of lasagna gardening is to make a bed easily, using recycling/composting methods. It's a lot of fun, it uses all sorts of things you'd usually get rid of, and it's simple. enjoy!

the first layer - cardboard.
Then the shredded paper ( or newspaper) and a LOT of water. Worms love wet paper. yum.
Krystal added some compost...
Sid added dried grass cuttings.
Wheelbarrows of dirt!

Lasagna bed done! hopefully the copper keeps the slugs away.
