lasagna gardening

I used this method on 2 small round beds, very pleased with the results. 

I started the beds at the end of August and planted bulbs in them towards
the end of Oct.  It was a very hot September as I recall.
It must have drawn lots of worms and grubs near the top of the bed.  The
crows turned it into a banquet.  They torn the newspaper into hundreds of
pieces to get to them.
The next time I used cardboard boxes and the crows left that alone.

Depends on the weather and amount of mositure in the bed.  Mine breaks
down in a couple months.  And all that newspaper draws the earthworms
like crazy!
They love it and I love them in my flower/veggie beds.>>
Only $9.95 per month!
