Frequently asked gardening related questions
Sheet mulching, often called "lasagna gardening," is an organic no-dig method for creating new garden beds directly over existing lawns or weeds. It involves layering wet cardboard (to suppress weeds), followed by alternating layers of "greens" (nitrogen-rich: grass clippings, kitchen waste) and "browns" (carbon-rich: straw, leaves, shredded paper), topped with a thick layer of finished compost. This slowly decomposes, creating rich, organic soil without digging or tilling.
