No-Dig Lasagna Gardening (How-to)



Lasagna gardening can be an easy way to make a garden bed and create great garden soil at no cost. Build soil one layer at a time, just like the layers in lasagna, from organic material you have in your garden or can get from friends and neighbors. There is no digging and no tilling. Soil is built from the ground up. Grass, straw, leaves, weeds, compost, aged manure are just some of the garden ingredients you can use in your lasagna garden bed recipe. (Video #185)

    You’ve probably answered this before, but can I put my leaves that had powdery mildew in here or do I need to throw them away so I don’t add that fungus to the soil?

  4. Svetla Nikolova

    Thank you so much for your videos. I learned so much from you. Keep them coming? Much appreciation from Bulgaria.

  5. Elephant Song

    Did the same but added grass as green material.a little afraid now that u said grass is considered brown material.Will I face any problems?

    I love the idea of using materials we & our neighbors already have on hand. Thanks for this great information. Question Gardener Scott…can I cover the pile with wet cardboard or will it rob the pile of oxygen? I was just thinking of ways to keep the squirrel off. Thanks!!

  10. Andrea's Landfunk

    Please be careful with the cardboard as we know that it consits a lot of poison as Mosh ("mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons") und
    Moah ("mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons") . It was IN the vegetables, grown on cardboaard.

    Thanks for another great video. I'm learning so much on your channel. How concerned should I be about herbicides if I'm collecting grass from curbside collection piles? I understand some of them can take a long time to break down. I live in a neighborhood where most people have landscapers take care of their lawns and don't know what's being sprayed on them.

    Thanks Gardener Scott. I started mine last Fall & it's looking good for Spring planting! Question: can I use a NE corner under trees in my UK garden to make more soil this way? I would love to possibly make better use of that dead spot to make more "gold"!

    I love this idea of using stuff throughtout the year in next years lasagna garden, keep expanding every year!

    Thanks for the great video! I am looking to build raised beds in my backyard this year, but I also want to incorporate the lasagna gardening method and plan to use peat and compost. I have a bad back so the beds might be 2-3 feet high and they will be build onto of established garden soil. Would you say this is possible and would I just incorporate the peat as a brown layer and compost in between green/brown? Thanks again!

    I do this anyway adapting the dig concept, nice to see it outined in a video and given a name. The only thing is controlling for weeds as there are a lot of seeds in the bed.

  23. Mark Stevenson

    Your presentation was wonderfully rich in information anyone could follow no matter what their experience level in gardening. Hat's off to you! Keep up the good work! Now I will need to watch your other videos. Thanks again!

    Scott I have piles of grass, pine needles, leaves etc on my property but I find the ants love to live in them. I don’t want the ants in my raised beds so I don’t know what to do with the ants😢

  26. umiluv

    Hahaha I love that shirt. Just thinned some seedlings today and I was brutal. I didn’t the last batch and now I have too many plants that I don’t know what to do with. They’re taking up a lot of space haha. Never making that mistake again.

  31. Nuala Power

    If I already have a garden with plants in it, but with very hard clay soil, do I do this method between, around the plants?

  32. Miriam B

    I live in an extremely windy area— what can I do to keep my layers from blowing away?
