Lasagna gardening - aka sheet mulching, sheet layering, or no till gardening - builds layers of compost, aged manure, cardboard, newspaper, kitchen waste, yard trimmings, leaves, etc. and makes garden soil basically. Its a good way to start a garden bed on top of existing grass. This is why its called no till gardening. The cardboard layer on the bottom kills the grass, and you don't have to till up the grass and soil.

  • Patricia Lanza (author of Lasagna Gardening) loves your video. Thanks you.

    I think it should be mentioned that when you take items from neighbors like leaves and cut grass that you ask if they have used products like weed killers or bug killers, anything not organic on the trees or grass before you add it to your compost or garden beds.  My mom used to go around in the fall especially and collect peoples leaves for her compost, and she asked them every time.  Even though she was only getting leaves if they raked them up off of tainted grass she would not take them.  Pretty sure you have mentioned this before but I am new to your channel and thought it worth a comment for other newbies like me.

    A big thank you from Spain. I've been doing this for 4 years on top of what used to be a pile of builders' rubble and I now have a thriving organic garden. You just confirmed that I've been doing it right. This method really works very well, I now have dark, almost black water-retaining soil full of earthworms where before it was a kind of light clay that crusted over when it rained. I don't have space for a compost pile so I just add kitchen refuse as a layer and it works just as well.
  • Thanks to the YouTube for promoting this Lasagna gardening, steps are easy to follow either they beginners or experienced one.

    In your comment section, you easily explained what I didn’t understand watching every video on this. I’m a newbie to composting since I bought a new house. Thank you!!

  • I always use leaves raked from previous year and lawn clippings in layering and also use newspaper as the bottom later when I lasagna.  I had never thought of using compost before it was complete for a layer, cool concept.
  • @chuckkottke
    I did the huglkulture bed method last year, but lasagna gardening looks so much easier! Thanks for the quick demo on how to do it. 🌱🌄🌎
  • @jackstone4291
    There is literally every single bit of thrown out food and chicken bones and used toilet paper by the looks of it in that black hot compost bin !!! Hood on you guys for using everything to probably make amazing compost for your beds !!
  • @russtex
    Great video and great idea!! That should turn out to be very rich!
  • I was hoping and waiting for the "you can use grass clippings" part. No hay here, just an abundance of cut-grass😂😂😂😂 I just subscribed Ty friend
