How to build a raised, no dig, no till, lasagna garden bed. (time lapsed)

This is how we built our Lasagna Gardening, or as is commonly called: Sheet Mulching.

This raised bed has leaves, straw, manure, and Starbucks coffee grounds. We love our layered gardening as it will have very few weeds. Starbucks has a program for their used coffee grounds called "Grounds for Coffee". You can pick up their used coffee grounds for free. The worms love it!

I would love to hear your comments about Lasagna Gardening, No Dig Garden, Layered Gardening, etc. Sheet mulching. Please leave them below. Thanks!

I've had many questions about how the hay bales broke down. We filmed this in 2011, and in 2012 the hay bales were down about 1/3, similar to the rest of the lasagna garden. By 2012 everything had broken down about 2/3, bales and lasagna garden, and by 2013 there wasn't much left.

This is a good reminder about lasagna gardening. You really need to keep adding mulch layers every year. The idea is that it breaks down and conditions the soil, making a much better, more nutrient rich, garden. The layers cover to stop or slow weeds, and help conserve water. If you keep adding layers every year then your lasagna garden will continue on and stay built up.

Most of my lasagna garden areas are actually large, flat plots. I've only built this one raised bed.

Here is what I raised in the lasagna garden. Garlic! And here is how to braid garlic.
